Agile: Agile/Scrum Methods Blog

I found a good blog on Agile methods by Kelly Waters.  It has many good articles on agile and scrum.
Here are the first two I have read:

http://www.allaboutagile.com/category/10-key-principles-of-agile/ -- this is an easy read that discusses key principles of agile:
10 Key Principles of Agile Development
1 - Active User Involvement Is Imperative
2 - Agile Teams Must Be Empowered
3 - Time Waits For No Man
4 - Agile Requirements Are Barely Sufficient
5 - How Do You Eat An Elephant?
6 - Fast But Not So Furious
7 - Done Means DONE!
8 - Enough Is Enough
9 - Agile Testing Is Not For Dummies
10 - No Place For Snipers

http://www.allaboutagile.com/how-to-implement-scrum-in-10-easy-steps/  -- this article discusses the scrum process step-by-step.  It pretty much mimicks what we learned in our scrum training:
How To Implement Scrum in 10 Easy Steps
1 - Get Your Backlog In Order
2 - How To Estimate Your Product Backlog
3 - Sprint Planning (Requirements)
4 - Sprint Planning (Tasks)
5 - Create a Collaborative Workspace
6 - Sprint!
7 - Stand Up and Be Counted!
8 - Track Progress / Daily Burndown Chart
9 - Finish When You Said You Would
10 - Review, Reflect, Repeat

I encourage you to read these!
