FYI -- Agile/Scrum Adoption Within Standards Development Organizations

["Dr. Stanley Doherty" <stan@modularwriting.com>]

Hi --

I conducted some additional research on Agile/Scrum adoption within the most popular standards development organizations. Mixed bag for sure.

1. IEEE Computer Society - no obvious committee activities using Scrum
   > Offers several Agile/Scrum certification courses through its IEEE 
     Institute.
     http://theinstitute.ieee.org/benefits/products-and-services/the-ieee-computer-society-expands-its-professional-education-program

2. ACM - no obvious references to using Agile/Scrum.

3. ISO - no obvious references to using Agile/Scrum.

4. W3C 

   a. Internal debate - current W3C processes inhibiting agile pace of development
      - http://www.xanthir.com/talks/2011-11-02/  (CSS)
      - https://www.w3.org/2011/11/02-agile-minutes.html
      - https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2011/Agile_Standardization

   a. Promotes Agile for contributing organizations
      - https://www.w3.org/2011/08/cg-pr.html.en

   b. Has some process modeling conversations underway
      - https://www.w3.org/blog/2014/04/web-25-w3c-20-creating-an-agile-web-standards-ecosystem/
      - https://www.w3.org/2013/Talks/sz-tpac2013/#(1)

5. OASIS - Three TCs seem to be using Agile/Kanban/Scrum to one degree or another:

    a. XDI Editors group
       - https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/event.php?event_id=38147

    b. Topology and Orchestration Spec for Cloud Apps (TOSCA)
       - TC home page:
         https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=tosca
       - JIRA issues board:
         https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/TOSCA/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel
    c. OASIS Could App Management for Platforms (CAMP)
       - TC Home Page: 
         https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=camp
       - JIRA issues board:
         https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/CAMP/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel  

6. Scrum Alliance - Not much information about their work with standards organizations
