Scaling Agile has been a hot topic in the last 3 to 5 years. Organizations that have successful software deliveries are trying to spread the success of the Scrum Team(s) beyond technology departments.

On the other hand, laggards, teams and organizations that didn’t embrace Agile when it became clear that it is the future, are cutting corners and launching mammoth programs to “do” Agile. Scrum, the core of the most recent “scaled” frameworks, was designed for teams of less than 10 people developing software products.

Even at that size, it is “difficult to master”, according to its authors.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile)  takes a look at Agile scaling from both perspectives: agile software development created for small homogenous teams AND agile manufacturing conceived in the last century for large companies as a replacement to Lean.

This session is based on the author’s 30+ years’ of experience as a practitioner. From manufacturing to software development and then to projects, this webinar is an analysis of the famous mindset change and the challenges and lessons learned while doing it and helping others to do it.

Whether played by teens, adults or in corporate team-building programs, an Escape Room is a perfect way to test your wits in a race against time. Throughout the world the fascinating world of Escape Rooms is popular and growing! According to S. Nicholson’s study on escape rooms, they involve teamwork, communication, and delegation as well as critical thinking, attention to detail, and lateral thinking.

Escape rooms continue to be a popular pastime. Physical escape rooms have expanded to include tabletop games and online experiences. In addition to being a fun activity, digital escape rooms can also be used as effective training tools. A digital escape room engages the learner by using game mechanics such as story, Easter eggs, puzzle solving and competition and provides a unique platform for learning.
