A New Two-Day Course offered by Agile University

Dr. Satish Thatte, CEO New Synergy Group
Are you experiencing any of the perennial problems of software-intensive organizations, such as: failure to meet customer’s real requirements, delays in time to market, cost overruns, low quality, low productivity, employee stress and burn-out? You will learn how to use Agile methods as solutions to these problems; these methods also help you better manage rapidly changing requirements and priorities, improve alignment with business needs, reduce risks, improve productivity, help increase business agility, etc.
In this highly
experiential course with over 25 hands-on exercises, you will learn how to
properly implement the Agile/Scrum framework supported by effective practices that
comprehensively cover all three roles (Scrum team member, ScrumMaster, Product
Owner) and the entire product development life cycle in a scalable way. The course covers
the practices of Vision-Releases-Sprints workflow, Product backlog management, Feature-Driven
Development, Time Boxing, Quality First, Transparency and Feedback,
Ready-Steady Sprint-Done.
Lean methods complement agile methods very well. You will learn lean framework and methods such as waste reduction and queue management, leveling the work with small work batches, flow and pull management, Kanban visual signaling for agile software projects, Work-in-Process (WIP) control, and Kaizen (continuous improvements).
You will also learn how to use instrumented templates that support several agile and lean practices in a scalable way. These templates embed agile process elements with examples, ensure consistency across agile projects through standardized (yet customizable) use of agile and lean practices, improve overall productivity, and help improve your agile practices with measurements. You will receive a set of 16 agile templates based on Microsoft Office and Google Docs, which you may customize and use for your own project needs and integrate with your choice of agile tool. As a concrete example of these agile templates, you will see how several battle-hardened templates are integrated and used with Rally agile project management tool.
This course will be offered on March 29 -30, 2012 in New York City. If you are interested in finding more information and registering for the course, click on Register Now button below:
