Need to Know Data: How to Become Data Literate in 7 Steps
Presented by RJ Williams
A recent study by AppDirect stated 80% of companies are in
the process of digital transformation, but 90% of those companies are facing
significant obstacles to success. 24% of these obstacles are related to a lack
of understanding and knowledge, and one of the key areas that professionals
lack familiarity with is data.
Data literacy involves understanding what data means,
including how to read graphs and charts correctly, draw accurate conclusions
from data, and recognize when data is being used in misleading or inappropriate
ways. This basically means those who are data literate can work with and
understand data.
Because data is one of the key pillars of digital
transformation, every business professional needs to be data literate. If
everyone in your organization is not harnessing the power of data, you and your
organization will be bested by your data literate competitors.
This webinar will give business professionals who are
lacking foundational data knowledge the terms and concepts they need to
know so that they can thrive in this new digital landscape.
You will Learn:
·
Review core data terms and concepts every business person
should know
·
Examine practical examples of data analysis and analytics
for business
·
Learn how you can help create a data-driven corporate
culture

How Stack Sports used
Nexus to Scale Scrum and Maximize Value
Presented by Brandon Shangraw, Director of Product and Abel
Rios, Director of Engineering from Stack Sports
Stack Sports had been practicing Scrum for 2 years and then
had the need to scale quickly on multiple platforms. They needed to maximize
value and create visibility across applications. Because of these needs
they decided to use the Nexus framework for scaling Scrum to do so. Nexus
extends Scrum to guide multiple Scrum Teams on how they work together to
deliver working products in every Sprint. It shows the journey these teams take
as they come together, how they share work between teams, and how they
manage and minimize dependencies. They also eventually had a Nexus+ and
descaled to separate Nexuses.
In this webinar Brandon Shangraw, Director of Product and Abel Rios, Director of Engineering from Stack Sports, along with Patricia Kong, Product Owner, Enterprise Solutions, Scrum.org will talk about their journey using Scrum and Nexus and hit on the following key principles that they focused on during their journey:

·
Keeping value at the core of the change with empiricism and
Evidence-Based Management (EBM) being the foundation of decisions
·
Remembering that Nexus can help you scale the value of
multiple teams, but it is not the cure for all problems
·
Keeping people at the heart of Nexus to ensure success
