How do we provide Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Team Members and others who are applying agile practices with a safe environment in which they can experience and “have a go” with Scrum?

Scrum simulation with Lego’s is a tried and tested technique that has been successfully applied to help teams build up their understanding of the ceremonies and rigors of Scrum.

In this highly interactive workshop session we will take participants through how they can customize, build and facilitate an agile lego simulation that addresses their particular learning points. We will also show you how you can use this approach to help distributed Feature teams who share a common backlog understand how they work as one to deliver their Product. Participants in this workshop will leave with the confidence to apply the power of play.

Product Management for agile projects is still in the 1970’s era or is it really?

Organizations today face tough challenges in overall agile delivery, with the product management teams still catching up and coming to terms with the new agile beast, which churns out functionality every 2 weeks. The product managers do not have a clue as to what exactly they need to do next with these 2 week deliverables! OK at least some do have an idea, but most product management teams struggle to keep pace both with their internal product owner needs on one end and the external customer /market facing demands on the other.

This talk focuses on our experiences of building product management capabilities at large scale, to overcome these challenges, and provide some insight with practical tips implemented. Join this session to learn from our experience and grow your own product management tree house.

Welcome to the crazy world of Dev-Ops, where the tales span the spectrum from gruesome, grizzly to the heavenly and flowery bliss!

The silo’d structures, the agonizing buy v/s build debates, the departmental handoffs, tooling and of course the cultural barriers, which all add fuel to the story unfolding in our brave new dev-ops world. But sometimes there are silver linings and the heavens part way for the shining stars to reveal their true glory.

Join our session to listen to the tales of our (not so) successful dev-ops, and learn the lessons from our experiences.
