Program objectives
Many organizations are going through agile transformations. They are implementing Scrum and maybe large scale agile frameworks like SAFe, LeSS or DAD, hoping to better serve the IT needs of the business and to develop products that satisfy their customer’s needs.
Unfortunately those transformation do not always live up to the agile promise of delivering faster, better products that customers really like or reducing the IT costs. As a result, many organizations are not getting the expected business benefits out of Agile.
Replacing processes doesn’t make an organization Agile. In this workshop you learn how to apply agile or lean practices, with an agile mindset, to become able to pick those practices that help your teams and stakeholders to do a better job. Explore how to use practices in the planning game and your daily stand-ups, in your daily stand-ups with your Scrum and Kanban boards, for your product reviews/demos and in your agile retrospectives.
Learning objectives:
- Effective practices for planning, daily stand-ups, product reviews and retrospectives
- Ideas for improving collaboration in teams and between teams and stakeholders
- Tips and tricks to improve your agile way of working
- Advice on selecting and applying agile and lean practices effectively
