SECR is an advanced and highly interesting forum where both researchers and practitioners of software engineering can meet every year to exchange experience and ideas. SECR is also a fertile ground for new partnerships and projects. At the last year’s event, we heard from Dr. Jeff Sutherland, the co-inventor of Scrum, that his company Scrum Inc. was launching a new Scrum capability assessment methodology. Since it is always extremely valuable to learn from the best, we decided to undergo the assessment, and as a result First Line became the first software firm in the world to be awarded an official Scrum Capability Rating by Scrum Inc.
