Agile In a Nutshell

  • What Agile is, how it works, and how to choose the right Agile method for you.

Agile Teams

  • What makes the Agile team tick. Characteristics of good Agile teams. And how to find quality players.

User Stories

  • In this session we break down what user stories are, how they work, what effective user stories look like for your project, and how to host great story gathering work shops.

Estimation

  • By learning how to estimate the Agile way, you’ll stop trying to get something your up-front estimates can’t give (precision and accuracy) and instead focus on what really matters—building a plan you and your customer can believe in.

Planning

  • In this session, you’re going to learn how to create plans you can believe in and follow through on commitments you and your team make.

Iteration Mechanics

  • This session shows teams how to set the iterations up for success, breaks down what actually occurs during an iteration, and how to setup an agile communication plan for you and your team.

Visible Workspaces

  • By learning how to create a visual workspace, you and the team will never be at a loss for what to do next or where you can add the greatest value.

       

Engineering
