PROGRAMME
Day One
You will learn basic Agile Principles and the fundamentals of Scrum. You will work on a Scrum Team, learning how to effectively create a high-performing team on a guided project. The interactions will be enhanced by many different simulations, exercises and group discussions about real-world situations. You will discuss the three roles in Scrum -- the ScrumMaster, Product Owner, and Team Member -- from the perspective of a ScrumMaster, and learn the techniques of Time Boxing, Product Backlog creation, User Story development, Change Management as it relates to Scrum, and how to deal with conflict.
Day Two
You will examine the important definition of DONE within a Sprint, along with figuring out who your real customer is. You'll learn two very important techniques -- creating user stories and creating estimations as a team. Your customers may really want to know only two things -- when are you going to get done and how much will it cost? You'll learn how to do this at the Sprint and Release Planning levels, testing real-life situations using Scrum. You'll play the role of a ScrumMaster and walk through some effective retrospective techniques.
Coming out of the real-world simulation, you should have some real (and practical) techniques that you can utilise as soon as you get back to work.
