Agile Team Workshop

This workshop provides participants with experience dealing with complex issues facing Agile teams today.  Agile Principles provide a baseline of understanding across roles, covering topics such as: motivation, process steps, roles, “whole” team, deliverables, challenges and solutions.  The focus will be on practical approaches to being an effective Agile Team.  Key areas include working cross functionally on requirements and acceptance as they are a key cross cutting concern on agile projects.
Exercises, demonstrations, facilitated discussions, case studies, tool and template examples and more are interwoven throughout the course to illustrate the principles being taught in a comprehensive fashion interactively tailored to each class’s particular needs.  This workshop includes hands on work with requirements pulled from the team’s actual product backlogs, discussion of actual team structures, daily stand-ups using real status and planning information, and other exercises based on the real life needs and experience of the team(s).
Duration: 2 days
