responsiveness, productivity, and quality of products and organizations.
Scrum is a highly effective project management
framework. We describe the mechanics, roles, interactions, and “rules
of engagement” for all relevant types of stakeholders.
This one-day workshop will result in 8
Category 3 PDU’s from REP Rally Software.
This one-day workshop prepares attendees
to work and succeed in cooperation with teams using Agile development practices.
The Introduction to Agile includes three
parts, designed to help attendees understand how the organization is developing
software and what value proposition it seeks to gain.
Part 1: Principles, Practices and Benchmarks
of Lean and Agile
Part 2: Scrum Overview
Part 3: Rules of Engagement
This Introduction to Agile lays out
the basics of Lean and Agile and the Scrum framework. Stakeholders
of development projects will gain a high-level understanding of Agile principles
and mechanics that will improve their interactions with the Agile development
teams. Influencers to the success of development projects will also
gain a high-level understanding of Agile principles and mechanics and thus
improve their contributions to Agile development projects.
Rally consultants provide knowledge transfer
that includes the guiding principles, process mechanics, and roles for
Agile to work effectively. Both technical and non-technical attendees
will gain a better understanding of how Agile can make IT or Product Development
more productive and predictable, and help make the entire organization
more market-responsive.
