Is Scrum Working Well for You (the BA)? If Not, Why, and What to Do About It

Tuesday, April 25, 2017 -
6:00pm to 8:00pm

The interest in Agile/Scrum software development practices continues to grow as companies seek more efficient methods of developing software while meeting market demands for delivery.
 
Scrum is a software development methodology based on Agile principles. Agile methodologies promote a project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy using teamwork, self-organization and accountability, with strong customer involvement.
 
However, Scrum / Agile implementations don't always go as planned, and without some due diligence, chaos is easy. Many organizations simply code, ship and hope under the label of “Agile.”  
 
In this session, Neil enumerates the problems to look out for and provides example corrective actions.
 
Learning outcomes:

  • Know your risks using Scrum
  • Know what corrective actions you could take
  • Know how where to add additional practices
