Building and Maintaining Agile Teams
Presented by Terrell Smith, Senior Trainer and Consultant, Corporate Education Group
As organizations transition to the agile environment, they must transition to an agile mindset. This requires the definition of new roles, which can cause added confusion. Unfortunately there is no concise definition of how to build an agile team and there tends to be a lot of debate over the traditional roles of the project manager and the business analyst, as well as other players on agile projects. Organizations that maintain a traditional IT way of thinking on roles are likely putting their adoption of agile at risk.
Two questions that those new to agile usually ask are: - what are the roles on an agile team? And how do you organize an agile team? This webinar addresses these questions by examining best practices in how to develop and maintain an agile team.
This webinar will explore:
1.
Drawing lines from traditional titles to agile titles
2.
Staying focused on the agile manifesto and agile principles
3.
Focusing on building a team with skills that align
with agile versus focusing on roles
4.
Defining components of a successful agile team and
some core principles
5.
Getting good people and the importance of effective
communication
6.
Adopting the agile mindset

Continuous Delivery 101
Presented by Chris Knotts, ASPE Training
Continuous Delivery (CD) is gaining steam as a practical set of technical processes for delivering end-to-end application value in a faster, more incremental fashion. Continuous Delivery is also closely associated with DevOps, although there is much debate about exactly how the two terms overlap.
In this one hour web seminar, we
will bring some clarification to these topics as we present an overview and
take questions on Continuous Delivery. We will relate CD as a set of workflow
and IT management practices to DevOps as a cultural movement, and discuss the
complex relationship between the two. Key areas of discussion will include:
·
CD: What is it?
·
A brief history of continuous
delivery
·
Why CD is so important
·
Continuous Delivery and DevOps
·
Real-world case study:
implementing Agile, DevOps, and CD at scale
