Course Notes and Text
- There is a course PDF for the presentations. We may decide to give the students a file copy to view on a laptop or a paper copy, depending on situation.
- Students are required to read Agile Project Management with Scrum by Ken Schwaber before the course.
- another useful read is The Scrum Primer
Room, Walls, Whiteboards
- People will be organized into table-teams, averaging 5 or 6 people per team. Thus, we need NumStudents/5 tables; e.g., 6 or 7 tables if 35 students. The tables are ideally in separate islands, circular or square, with a team at each.
- Don’t make it a crowded room; there are a number of exercises that involve the teams moving around.
- There are several wall exercises, involving flip chart paper or PostIt Note layouts; each team needs some unencumbered clear wall space for this.
Projectors, Screens, and Relating Coaching Displays
- 1 computer projector.
- 1 white projector screen at the front of the room.
- 2 flipcharts, on stands
- 1 whiteboard (e.g., on wheels) at the front of the room
Table Layout
- Round tables are ideal
- Tables should not be against the walls; we are using the walls as a main working area in this course.
- Distribute the tables throughout the room
- A "teacher table" near the front, for placing the projectors and coach laptop.
Computers, Software and Networking
- There are a few short exercises on spreadsheets. These are team exercises (average 5 persons per team). Thus, at least one laptop is required for each team; two is nicer. Therefore, ask people to bring a laptop if they have one.
- A power supply is NOT needed for each table, because the computer use is minimal. However, please ensure there are some powerstrips “somewhere” in the room so students can recharge laptops.
- No network is required.
Other Supplies
- flip chart paper for student exercises
- masking tape (to hold up flip chart paper)
- 7 packages of typical 3-5 inch Post-It notes
- lots of black whiteboard marker pens
- 1 package of regular 8.5x11 paper
- scissors
