VIDEO INTERVIEWS

Scientists at University of Oregon’s Center for Translational Neuroscience discuss their experiences with LabScrum.

Introduction & overview

“It would have been so easy for me to recapitulate the model I’d been trained under. This is a model that I’d much prefer to recreate in my own lab.” — Grace Binion

pitfalls of traditional research managemenT

“We talk in science about being all about evidence, but when it comes to our management practices we aren’t evidence-based at all.” — Elliot Berkman

Knowledge Sharing Benefits of LabScrum

“I’ve earned authorship where I otherwise wouldn’t have because of being in the room and saying “I know something about that”. — Grace Binion

Benefits of short “standup” check-in meetings

“The frequency matches people’s needs a lot better. Meeting more frequently for less time has been such a better model.”

— Maureen Zalewski

Benefits of Colocation

“It just helps me feel much more immersed in the projects.” —Elliot Berkman

“One of the most positive changes I’ve made.” — Maureen Zalewski

Benefits of LabScrum long-term project planning

“Mapping on to a big two-year plan has been integral, for me, to making any of the smaller scrum stuff work. Otherwise I think I would just be getting by, week to week.” — Grace Binion
