Online Webinar – Recorded March 18th 2014 Offered by ASPE (REP 2161) 1 Category A PDU – Free PDU

To an untrained eye, an Agile Team Room can look like chaos, however, to the trained eye, an Agile Team Room is a integrated set of Information Radiators that transparently communicate project details, insulate the team from distractions, and support an environment for continuous collaboration.

If you attended the web seminar, “Options for Illustrating & Documenting the Five Levels of Planning,” then you got exposure to the different types of information radiators that can be used to communicate details about the scope of work an Agile Team has taken on.

While Leslie Morse (LinkedIn profile) will not cover the details of any specific information radiator during this one-hour seminar, she will reference many types of information radiators and walk through various team room layouts that are conducive for building high performing Agile Teams.

If you choose to register and attend this session you’ll leave with a list of Team Room attributes that are classified into must-haves, satisfiers, & delighters as well as understand the pros and cons of an Agile Team Room approach.

This presentation is based on the book Design Sprint: A Practical Guidebook for Creating Great Digital Products by Richard Banfield, C. Todd Lombardo, Trace Wax

The Design Sprint is a flexible framework for starting new product design and development work.

The Design Sprint is the first, and for some projects the most significant, phase of a design thinking process. It gets the entire product design and development team on the same page, reduces the risk of downstream mistakes, and generates vision-lead goals for the team to measure their success.

In this webcast, you’ll learn both why and how Design Sprints work and how you can use Design Sprints to enhance your own design process.

  • Get an eye-opening approach to the product design process that results in better, faster outcomes
  • Learn the design sprint process from start to finish, including essential tools, tips, and best practices
  • Learn about successful examples of design sprints from across the industry
