Scrum provides a lightweight and effective framework for implementing agility at the team level. Our two-day Scrum for Teams in the Enterprise (S4TE) class provides an introduction and practical experience with the Scrum team framework. In addition, this class includes an introduction to agility at scale via a half-day Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Larger Enterprises module. And, since our enterprises operate at scale, our delivery model must operate at scale, so we often deliver this class for 50-100 practitioners at the same time (5-15 teams). While this might sound a bit chaotic, it’s really fun and effective, and all the teams learn Scrum, build their backlog, write user stories and acceptance criteria and learn the basic disciplines, roles, meetings and cadence of the Scrum framework at the same time. Equally importantly, this class starts to build the relationships and trust that provide the foundation for the “Ba” of a dynamic, knowledge-acquiring agile program.
Workshop topics include:
Scaling Agility
Scrum philosophy and basic practices,
Roles in Scrum – Product Owner, ScrumMaster and Team,
Building the product backlog
Writing user stories
Agile estimating
Prioritizing work using lean economics
Developing acceptance criteria
Scrum ceremonies
Sprint planning and tracking
Sprint execution
Sprint demo and retrospective
Release planning
The workshop includes hands on exercises designed to help teams experience Scrum and to build real project assets for the team’s first sprint. At the end of the workshop, teams will be prepared to begin to implement Scrum in their individual team and program settings.
