Prior to implementing Scrum, many of us are classically trained project managers. We are taught to master the tools and techniques of the profession. Unfortunately, many of us are not taught key leadership skills and we struggle to fulfill the purpose of the ScrumMaster role.

When we manage, rather than lead, our teams can feel controlled and their productivity can suffer.

We need to learn the core behaviors of a leader, so that we can help foster the kind of environment where hyper-productive Scrum teams can flourish.

In this session we will examine the fundamentals of Agile Leadership as they apply to the ScrumMaster role.

Is there a place for project managers within Scrum? In this webinar Angela, will look at ways project managers can be successful, contributing members of the organization’s move to Scrum.

Presenter: Angela Druckman (LinkedIn profile) has served as a Product Owner, ScrumMaster and team member, and seen first-hand how agile practices and Scrum in particular can lead organizations to project success.

Presented by : O’Reilly® Webcasts

In this interactive webcast presented by Stephen Wendel author of Designing for Behavior Change, he will talk about the business of behavior change: what it means for companies to design products that help users change their daily behavior and routines.

From this webcast you will learn:

• How to discover the right behavior to change – generating product ideas and evaluating them for their beneficial impact for users and for the company or NGO
• Clarifying the target outcome, actor, and action – how to get everyone on the same page and avoid disagreements down the line
• Sustainable business models for building behavior change products
• Ways to build relationships and work together with behavioral economists and others to get additional expertise and insight

Steve will also preview a set of worksheets that companies and NGOs can use to start the process of designing for behavior change.

Presenter: Steve Wendel (LinkedIn profile) is the Principal Scientist at HelloWallet. Steve is a behavioral social scientist by training, and works with behavior economists and psychologists to conduct research on behavior change, especially around savings and spending behavior. Steve is author of Designing for Behavior Change for O’Reilly, which gives step by by instructions for designers and product managers on how to develop products that help users change their daily behavior – from exercising more to learning a new language.

About the Book: The impetus behind the book comes from his experiences at HelloWallet, which has confronted first-hand the frustrations and failures that come from the two most common approaches to behavior change: telling people what to do (without taking into account their psychology), and trying to directly apply the research literature (without focusing on the quality of the product itself).
