This practical, hands-on, and idea-rich workshop helps you master the skills in applying agile and iterative methods, including Scrum – the most popular agile method worldwide. And it summarizes the key research and concepts. It is suitable for large or small projects, and is aimed at people who need to master the core management practices to succeed with agile methods. This is a high-impact guide to agile and iterative development methods: what they are, how they work, how to implement them – and why you should.

Scaling Lean and Agile Development for Large, Multisite & Offshore Products with Large-Scale Scrum

Overview

2 days

Reflecting my work over recent years, my next book (published 2008) will be on scaling lean and agile development with Large-Scale Scrum. I am writing it with my co-author Bas Vodde, who has long and in-depth experience with very large agile product development and enterprise transformations (at Nokia Networks and NSN).

This new course reflects our focus since 2002 on leading relatively large products (e.g., 600 people on one product) and relatively large enterprise transformations (e.g., 50,000 people) to adopting agile and lean principles, and scaling Scrum to this size.

This workshop covers the key concepts and practices that we've learned work for Large-Scale Scrum and agile adoption.
