You 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

Audience: Public
