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.

Practices and Benchmarks of Lean and Agile
Part 2: Scrum
Overview
Part 3: Rules
of Engagement
This Introduction
to Agile identifies 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.
