Event Details
Description:
There is a world of difference between studying Agile planning and actually doing it. This session is intense, energetic, and highly interactive, focusing on direct experience with minimal traditional presentation. Attendees will collaborate using an Agile-style "planning board" to deliver a fully-developed, usable Agile plan in the context of a realistic software product development domain.
Prior to the session, attendees will receive a detailed background packet on the problem domain used for the session -- just as if they were starting work on an initiative at their own workplace. While the domain will be familiar to all attendees, it does not consist of "toy problems," and participants should be prepared to use the skills they depend on in their professions.
The work product produced by the end of the session will be an actual Agile project plan, robust enough to start a sprint or iteration, yet flexible enough to avoid the problems associated with Big Design Up Front. The experience which participants will take away from creating this plan will foster deep skills which they can apply to their unique work situations.
Course Goals:
During the session, participants will be coached in the use of key agile planning concepts to gain practical experience in:
- Performing agile analysis in a strategic context, guided by release vision and sprint goals
- Determining the traits of an effective Product Owner
- Committing to the appropriate amount of work based on accurate calculation of the Team's capacity
- Eliminating waste by allowing designs and architectures to emerge, driven by priority business value
- Facilitating a team's ability to work incrementally and in a self-organizing manner
- Keeping the focus on deliverable product and avoiding "analysis paralysis"
- Writing work backlog items with clear value and useful time estimates
- Loading the perfect status tracker with sprint backlog items (Burn-down + Burn-up = Agile-V)
As a take-away, attendees will have access their Agile plan, loaded in a read-to-go status tracking spreadsheet after the session. The tool aids in tracking user stories & tasks, as well as generating the infamous Burn-down and Burn-up charts. This tangible product of the session will continue to serve as a personalized example of good Agile planning as participants apply this experience back to their jobs.
Who Should Attend:
- Project Managers/ScrumMasters who want to integrate Agile plans with their organization's traditional project management needs
- Product Managers/Product Owners seeking better visibility into the strategic view of their product being developed
- Scrum course students desiring a "deep dive" into planning
- ScrumMasters who wish to improve their team's sprint planning effectiveness
- Agile development team members who want to work better as a team
Instructor:
Our instructors are never "slide-turners" or theorists; all have the experiences necessary to enrich each course with real-life examples and proven techniques.

About Us
Through a comprehensive offering of training, coaching, and consulting services, 3Back will guide your organization to a new level of business perception and action.
Product is Developed by People
The problem with product development is not motivation - your team works hard. The problem is not workload - there is enough capacity. Repeatedly, we observe hard-working teams that just cannot seem to apply their collective skills in the right ways.
At 3Back we believe in human-powered methodologies for developing complex products such as software systems. Our primary focus is on helping teams apply their effort more effectively. We train and coach on Agile development, with an emphasis on the importance of engaging the human side of the equation. As members of the Scrum Alliance we are strong supports of the agile community.
Better teams make better products, faster.
We make teams better.
