Talk:EXtreme Manufacturing

Todays edits

After listening to the Justice webinar at Scrum Alliance/Leaning Consortium, I came here to fill in gaps. Not possible with article as written. That webinar or comparable up-to-date material needs to be incorporated into this article, but until it does, some stop-gap editing was done, including:

• Moved URLs that appeared as links in the text into ref markup as WP requires;
• Completed HBR, Hagel, Jakubowski, and other incomplete or nonstandard citations;
• Removed red wikilink for various individuals in the lead, leaving them in the body;
• Expanded jargon in the lead, using phrases from WP articles, to make lead more stand alone;
• Noted material in the lead that either does not appear in the main body, or if it does appear, is unsourced;
• Moved the citation regarding the coining of the title term into the main body, and repeated than sentence there, in the context of the "Origins" section;
• Dealt with abbreviation jargon, in a preliminary way — since BDD does not reappear, it was expanded and the abbreviation removed entirely, and since TDD reappears, its elaboration was moved from the lead to the text at point of second appearance (i.e., I removed abbreviations from the lead, to make lest jargonistic);
• Downgraded specific editor opinions regarding "seminal" and related puffery, and called for citations, inline;
• Noted inappropriate blog sources, see WP guidelines on sourcing; and
• Added article tags to call attention to the preeminent article issues, including bare URLs, lead that is unsourced and does not reflect the article, extensive use of jargon meaningless to the general reader, etc.

I did not note, however, that the lead is essentially WP:OR, because it is almost entirely unsourced as indicated (i.e., editor statements regarding definition, applied principles, popularization, and origins are all currently unreferenced, anywhere).

Thanks to @Derek R Bullamore: for ever-faithfully (and nearly immediately) dealing with the URL-only content; these are still poor sources, but at least that are no longer bare URLs. Le Prof 73.210.154.39 (talk) 21:26, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

What is the point being conveyed

…by the image in the "Origins" section, which appears to be an individual wearing goggles, and using a screw gun or drill, in an outdoor setting at the edge of a brick way and a garden, whose legend reads "The XM Scrum Master in action."?

In what way is this conveying (helping define) the importance and general role of a scrum master in XM? I know manufacturing, Scrum, Agile (and gardens and screw guns, etc.). And I am clueless as to the point of this image. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 01:53, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
