The Agile LCI provides a specific focus on
Scrum, eXtreme Programming (XP), Kanban and other Agile
practices. We share common interests and challenges,
experiences related to the setup and operation of Agile
teams, discuss trends associated with Agility, provide
continuing project management education, and learn from
other Agile practitioners. Our focus includes:
- Defining the benefits Agile practices offer
- Bringing in Agile(such as Scrum) into an organization
(bottom-up, top-down, stealth, etc.)
- Ordering a backlog and maximizing ROI
- Creating enterprise agility (e.g. LeSS; SPS; SAFe,
etc.)
- Highlighting the rules of Scrum vs. the advantage of a
Framework
- Identifying success factors (for profit vs. not for
profit; internal vs. external products)
- Quantifying metrics such as burndowns, burnups,
velocity (its interpretation, use and misuse)
- Planning releases
- Sharing specific experiences regarding the setup and
ongoing management of effective Agile Teams.
- Studying trends associated with Agility (e.g. Version
One Annual Survey)
- Bringing awareness of various Agile organizations
offering certifications and continuing education such as
Scrum Alliance, Scrum.Org, ICAgile, and SAFe.
