I'd be happy communicate more off-line since this is somewhat off topic.

You might be interested in the Atlanta Scrum Study Group.  We meet
monthly

&gt; Guys,
&gt; 
&gt; I took over a small development shop in a big company back in October. 
&gt; The development process here is essentially non-existent...if the CMM
&gt; allowed negatives, we'd be around -5
&gt; 
&gt; I'd like to establish proper, repeatable processes and bring some order to
&gt; it all.  I've been a fan in the past of monthly development iterations,
&gt; where all interested parties meet at the beginning of each month, promote
&gt; their projects, and then as a group decide which have the highest
&gt; priority.  I'd like to take similar approach here and additionally
&gt; establish a SCCB that would provide the final word on software changes.
&gt; 
&gt; However, I'm also sensitive to implementing heavy, obtrusive processes in
&gt; an environment that's quite accustomed to none.  I don't want to chose a
&gt; system that will take me 3 months to learn and my developers even
&gt; longer...
&gt; 
&gt; I've seen Scrum called a &quot;lightweight&quot; way to bring Agile methods to your
&gt; group...still doing some research along those lines, but I seem to recall
&gt; reading a few accounts of others on the list using Scrum and liking it.
&gt; 
&gt; Anyone care to share their experience with Scrum?  Good/Bad?  What
&gt; resources (aside from www.controlchaos.com) should I review.
&gt; 
&gt; And, if anyone has alternative approaches, I'd welcome the info.
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks for the insight!
&gt; 
&gt; John
