October Presentation
Agile Drill-down Talk
So you’ve heard about Agile methods like XP and Scrum. Maybe you have read some of the books. But do you really understand how an agile team works?
- What are the key roles on a team?
- How is work organized by a “self-organized” team?
- How can you validate that what the team develops is really what the customer wants…even if they change priorities every iteration?
In this presentation, you will experience how an agile team achieves it’s goals and produces value for the customer each and every iteration using agile project management techniques. For a preview of the process we will follow in this demonstration, refer to this scrum article. However, we may also leverage elements of XP as well.
