Scaled Professional Scrum Workshop, August 25 & 26, Irvine, CA

I’ll be presenting Scaled Professional Scrum for Practitioners along with Richard Hundhausen August 25 & 26. This workshop will be held at the Irvine Hilton, directly across the street from the John Wayne Airport. If you are involved with Scrum on large, multi-team projects this course is for you.

As you know, Scrum is a proven successful way for individual teams to deliver value quickly. As the needs of the business expand beyond what an individual team can accomplish, however, organizations need to scale Scrum while remaining agile. The problem is that dependencies, technical debt, and integration issues scale as well.

The Scaled Professional Scrum workshop will show you how to launch, structure, staff, and manage a large agile or Scrum project. You will be introduced to the Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS) framework and walk through forming and managing a Nexus, the core development unit of SPS. You will leave knowing how to scale Scrum in order to maximize the value of your software development initiative.

Hope to see you there.

Presenting at Quicken Loans Tech Conference on August 5, 2015

I’ve been invited to speak at Quicken Loans internal Developer Conference in Detroit. I’m really looking forward to it. We have settled on these two topics:

Agile Requirements

Agile software development starts with good requirements, just enough, just in time. So what does this really mean? Do we all have a clear vision of the big picture? How do we decompose stakeholder desires into workable chunks of meaningful work? And, when do we do it so we have sufficient detail without waste when things can change? Are we getting meaningful acceptance criteria from our stakeholders? What about estimates – at product conceptual inception, and throughout development? And, are you keeping your stakeholders engaged throughout development? We’ll address these questions and more as we help you get your arms around agile requirements.

Top 10 Dysfunctions with Scrum, Don’t Shoot the Messenger

Many organizations have tolerated inefficiencies and impediments for years. They recognize the need to become more agile; to respond to the needs of their customers and be competitive in the marketplace. They embark on adopting Scrum but struggle with successful implementation, often falling back on old habits when the going gets tough. Scrum quickly identifies these inefficiencies and impediments and requires their resolution. So, don’t shoot the messenger and try to change Scrum. This session will discuss a top ten list of common dysfunctions and help you deal with them effectively.
