1. Are you on an Agile team and not seeing value out of your sprint planning?
2. Are you looking for tools or best practices to make the ceremony more effective?

If so, you will benefit from this webinar.

Sprint planning is when the Agile development team takes the prioritized product increment and begins translating it into a goal and a plan of action.

The team learns more about each backlog item, engages in estimation exercises, and defines the goal of the sprint.

When sprint planning runs effectively, the team comes away with clarity and purpose in their work and the chances of delivering on the sprint goal increase greatly.

In this webinar, NK will describe best practices of engaging and effective sprint planning to help you put your team in the best position to succeed.

Since the term, agile, grew popularity in the second decade of the 21st century, Risk Management was one of the strong selling points of various agile frameworks.

According to agile surveys, reducing risk is one of the main reasons for agile adoption.

However, none of the agile frameworks provide guidance on Risk Management. Most of them are limited to a simplistic view that by delivering in small increments risk is limited to the value of a single sprint.

The reality is far more complex, and it is not limited to coding or technical skills. A project is dependent on context, on organizational culture, and last but not least, on people’s desire to work as a team and succeed.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) gives a brief introduction to how important Risk Management is, how it can be done in agile, and why risk, especially in Agile, should not have a negative connotation.

Real-life examples will be used to illustrate how the Project Manager, Scrum Master, and the whole project team can take advantage of Risk.

Requirements elicitation is the process of seeking, uncovering, acquiring, and elaborating requirements for business systems. It is generally understood that requirements are elicited rather than just captured or collected.

There are discovery, emergence, and development elements to the elicitation process. Requirements elicitation consists of a variety of techniques, approaches, and tools.

This webinar shares 10 steps to effective requirements elicitation, guiding business analysts to deliver successful results.

Requirements elicitation is all about learning and understanding the needs of users and project sponsors with the ultimate aim of communicating these needs to the system developers.

Learning objectives include:

• Understand the application domain
• Identify the sources of requirements and analyze the stakeholders
• Select the techniques, approaches, and tools to use
• Prepare to use the selected elicitation techniques
• Document your approach and create a “strawman” to generate the right conversation
• Send input material to participants in advance with clearly defined objectives for the specific elicitation events
• Elicit the requirements from stakeholders and other sources
• Assign a scribe for note taking and use a whiteboard or a smart screen to document the requirements
• Use a standardized requirements document template
• Continue to re-validate the requirements until they are clear and can be acted upon by those who read them – business stakeholders AND implementers
