Self-coaching

I think the reason it works so good outside the software business is the self-coaching qualities of Scrum. It creates awareness in a very visible way and it gets things done.
Actually I put together a popular presentation about how to plan your life using Scrum, with the title:
A 942 iteration Scrum project
- a lesson in self-coaching and agile software development -
I've also started to use retrospectives as a coaching tool, which also helps creating awareness.
