Agile And Traditional Approaches To Project Success: Is Hybrid A Poor Second Choice?

Presented by Pedro Serrador

 

Many organizations use a combination of Agile and Traditional practices: Hybrid Agile. Is this is poor decision or a rational one? Using data from 477 projects, worldwide, we examined the issue of how Hybrid Agile projects perform compared to the alternatives. In this presentation, based on an award-winning academic paper, we will give the answer.

How to Improve Communication and Collaboration Between Developers and Scrum Masters

 

There is a common myth amongst Developers on Scrum Teams - "When the Scrum Master doesn't interfere with your work, it's already good." Such an opinion can be symptoms of a problem.

 

Scrum is a tool that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions to complex problems. If Scrum is a source of frustration (because, for example, "the Scrum Master keeps on distracting us"), it's a sign that it is not Professional Scrum but the team is just going through the motions and not embracing what Scrum has to offer. In this Scrum Pulse, PSTs Joanna  Plaskonka and Magdalena Kucharska will talk about these misconceptions and consider what you can do to make working with Scrum Master better and more effective through communication.

 

The audience will take away the following:

1) Scrum Masters have a lot of positive energy and they want to help Developers, sometimes too much. Scrum Masters may get lost, too. The audience will see Scrum Masters' efforts and channel them towards something useful and valuable in terms of product development and good collaboration within the Scrum Team.
2) Language and intentions matter. Focus on what's behind the words you are using in relations with Scrum Masters (and other Scrum Team members)
3) We all thrive towards greatness and mastery. Scrum is there to help us, as well as Scrum Master. The audience will get some ready to use communication tools that they can work with and support Scrum Masters on their road to excellence.

Transformation Readiness: How to Thrive in Changing Times

The key to change isn't just a vision, planning, communication, or training. The key to growth is focusing your team on the value generated by the change and how they can most effectively create that value. Participants will learn how to make the mental shifts necessary, how to control their focus and learn the three-dimensional framework for making the biggest difference and handling the emotions around change.

Creating Reliable Software in a World Where Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (Vuca) Is the New Normal

Presented by Stephen Cohen

 

We are in an era where good requirements, known environments, and everyone is on our network are things of myth and legend.   Today's software isn't a modernized version of past implementations.  Change isn't some abstract thing in the future its now, every day, every minute. In this session we will establish a new baseline for acceptable software.

One more time: Do we still have to write requirements?

Presented by Steve Blais, PMP

 

Sometimes it seems that the decades old debate between agile software development and non-agile approaches about whether requirements need to be written down is not going to go away. But the debate lingers on. On the one side, there are a number of reasons why we need to have a written record of project and software requirements. On the other side, we should just sit down and talk about it until we figure out what were going to deliver in the project or with the software. This webinar attempts to provide a definitive breakdown of both sides of the debate and a recommendation for what can be done to increase the potential for quality project results and working software.

 

Topics:

    • Why gather and document requirements?

    • How does a “no requirements” environment work?

    • What happens to the job of requirements definition?

    • What is a business analyst to do?
