This workshop is for organizations that are applying Lean and Agile frameworks who want to get the performance, productive and financial results they expect and demand from their investment in agility.
In this workshop, you will pursue two goals:
- Achieving Great Execution. Learn to do better Scrum or Kanban to deliver value reliably and predictably so you can delight your customers. Based on what you know and do now, what's good? What's bad? And what is downright ugly? Most importantly, how can you change to execute better?
- Creating a clear vision for improving your organization. Create a compelling, clear message that is shared by you and your leadership team that you can take to management, development staff, stakeholders and customer. You can explain where you want to go and why they want to go there too!
Workshop Outline
This is a workshop, not a course, and not a powerpoint binge! Much of the content will be driven by the participants. Here's the plan (which may change depending on the decisions you take in the workshop): You will examine how you do Scrum in your organization. You will reflect on how Scrum has failed you, and how you have failed to be Agile. You will review topics you want to cover in more depth.
You will examine advanced topics, like Scaling Scrum or Radical Management. You will share experiences with other participants and learn how other organizations have solved your problems. You will identify short term improvement potential for your organization, to start applying on Monday morning. Finally, you will create a vision for taking your team or organization forward, so that your whole organization will benefit from being agile!
