Important Notes:

The Benefits Of Agile?

Part 1:

What are our challenges:

  • Building the wrong stuff
  • Delivering late
  • Low quality code
  • Lack of predictability
 Why this occurs:

  • Poor process
  • Working on too many things
  • High technical debt
  • Detecting errors late
Solution

  • Deliver in stages to achieve value quickly
  • Keep core teams so can get synergy effectiveness
  • Provide teams with leadership
 Available paths:

  • Scaled Agile Framework
  • Lean-Agile Framework
  • Lean-Agile Roadmap

This Session discusses the benefits you get from Agile, not the how of doing it. Agile is really about delivering business value incrementally, quickly and predictably. It should not be about development iterations. Starting with the “how” of Agile instead of the “why” of Agile often leaves many business stakeholders unclear with the need for Agile.

Part 2:

Scrum:

  • Describes the core roles, practices and artifacts
  • Why Scrum works
  • Where Scrum is best used
 Kanban:

  • Describes the core guiding principles of visibility, explicit workflow, managing work-in-progress, measure flow, continual learning which define Kanban
  • Kanban as a transition method
  • Where Kanban is best used
Scrumban

  • Scrumban was designed as a transition method from Scrum to Kanban
  • Scrumban can be used in its own right
  • Understand how Scrumban can be a great hybrid, Agile method to use

While not an in-depth study of any of the methods, the webinar will illustrate why one must look at several factors when deciding on your team-Agile approach.
