If your boss asks you to scrum, don't worry, it's totally legal—and everyone is doing it.

Scrum is a method of managing projects, specifically digital media products.  The form of "agile development" utilizes quick daily meetings, short time frames, physical notecards and mutually-agreed-upon prioritization for a development process that is transparent, flexible and results-oriented.  From Sweden to Denmark to the U.S. and beyond, web development managers across Bonnier are embracing agile development.

Style for all, by all—that's the idea behind StyleGallery.com, a fashion site launched in mid-April by Benjamin Media in Copenhagen.  This community Web site offers daily fashion inspiration, with half of the content coming from professional fashion writers and the other half coming from visitors.

"Benjamin publishes a number of magazines in the lifestyle segment, including Costume, Denmark's largest fashion magazine," says Anders Kragelund, Interactive Manager at Benjamin Media.
