title: Scrum: Resistance is (not) futile
body: <p>I'm the second dev and a recent hire here at a PHP/MySQL shop.  I was hired mostly due to my experience in wrangling some sort of process out of a chaotic mess.  At least, that's what I did at my last company. ;)</p>
  
  <p>Since I've been here (a few months now), I've brought on board my boss, my product manager and several other key figures (But mostly chickens, if you pardon the Scrum-based stereotyping).  I've also helped bring in some visibility to the development cycle of a major product that has been lagging for over a year.  People are loving it!  </p>
  
  <p>However, my coworker (the only other dev here for now) is not into it.  She prefers to close her door and focus on her work and be left alone.  Me?  I'm into the whole Agile approach of collaboration, cooperation and openness.  Without her input, I started the Scrum practices (daily scrums, burndown charts and other things I've found that worked for me and my previous teams (ala H. Kniberg's cool wall chart).  During our daily stand up she slinks by and ignores us as if we actually weren't standing right outside her door (we are actually).  It's pretty amazing.  I've never seen such resistance.</p>
  
  <p>Question... how do I get her onboard?  Peer pressure is not working.  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks from fellow Scrum-borg,</p>
