Agile Readiness Assessment Webinar - 19 de setembro

Divulgação: (From: The Agile Manager)

Please join me on Friday, 19 September for An Agile Readiness Assessment, a ThoughtWorks sponsored webinar.

Taking on Agile can appear to be an overwhelming commitment with no obvious place to start. For one thing, Agile is often a significant departure from how a team is operating, requiring organisational changes, new practices, and stricter discipline. In addition, because there are so many different things to be done - from continuous integration to Story based requirements - it's difficult to know what changes to make first. Finally, organisational constraints such as phase-based governance and shared QA can create questions about the extent to which Agile practices will have an impact, and raise doubts as to whether they can be taken on in the first place.

In this webinar, we'll discuss how to overcome stationary intertia and plot a course to Agile practice adoption.

• How can we critically assess the state of our practices today?
• What goals should we target given constraints and organisational realities?
• How do we prioritise what we should do first?

I hope you can attend on the 19th.

Emergent Design: The Evolutionary Nature of Professional Software Development

Conteúdo
What is design? An opportunity to mitigate risk. A way to look for eliminating waste. It is certainly not simply the "thinking" part of software development.

When are you doing design? Just up front?

When do you test your design?

How much design is enough?

How can design be done in a more natural, evolutionary way and, at the same time, more professional?

Post-Agile Scrum

Thursday, Jan 24, 2008
11:00am to 12:00pm PST (2:00pm to 3:00pm EST) Webinar Presentation
12:00pm to 1:00pm PST (3:00pm to 4:00pm EST) Q&A Followup

Presented by CEO and Senior Consultant: Alan Shalloway.

Today, what is required is helping the entire enterprise become Agile? What is an Agile Enterprise? An enterprise that can respond quickly to customer, environment and internal changes to create a competitive advantage. This requires much more than merely trying to apply practices that work for local teams to the entire enterprise - that approach is too simplistic. This Agile Enterprise-perspective is one of the biggest differences between current Agile practitioners and those going beyond Scrum. This webinar discusses the essential approaches to making an Agile Enterprise: approaches that also create structures that enable Agile teams to work even more efficiently.

Connection details will be sent to registrants via email a few days before the event.

Using Scrum for Effective Product Management

with Sinan Si Alhir
Practitioner

Scrum is a process framework that enables lean, agile, and competitive approaches to product management and development. While Scrum is conceptually simple and involves only a few roles, artifacts, and ceremonies, its practices demand discipline and its implementation causes a paradigm shift in product management and development. Many teams and organizations implement Scrum practices, but don't readily absorb its underlying philosophy, and thus don't maximize their return on adoption as they enact its practices.

This session is a introduction to how Product Management can be more effective when using Scrum; how to absorb its philosophy and enact its practices for maximum return. In particular, how Scrum may be used in combination with the Pragmatic Marketing Framework to produce the most positive impact for a product management team.
