There's more to Agile than Scrum. And there's more to Scrum than Scott's saying. Ah good - somebody else go there first ;-) To James' link I'd add reading the Agile Manifesto values (http://agilemanifesto.org/ http://agilemanifesto.org/) and principles (http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html - everybody forgets the principles). If folk want to learn a bit more about Scrum the Scrum Guide is a nice summary and not that much longer than Scott's mild oversimplification (http://www.scrum.org/Scrum-Guides http://www.scrum.org/Scrum-Guides). (And since he's too polite to pimp it himself - James' book co-authored with Shane Warden is one of the ones I recommend to folk wanting to learn about agile http://www.jamesshore.com/Agile-Book/ http://www.jamesshore.com/Agile-Book/ - well worth a read if you're interested).
