Product Owner Workshop: Maximizing Value Delivery via Agile Software Development

Date: 04/16/2008-04/17/2008 Location: Boulder, CO Trainer: Ronica Roth

To register click here          

Course Overview

Iterative and incremental development requires a steady stream of highest-value Agile requirements which are elaborated just-in-time and thus remain fresh and relevant. Agile software development puts both control and responsibility for success squarely in the hands of the "Product Owner". The challenge becomes how to provide the constant evaluation of value, the constant interaction with the delivery team, and the constant determination off whether requirements are, indeed, done. The best Product Owners harness the Agile feedback loops to constantly improve the value the software organization is delivering. Whether the "product" is for sale in the marketplace, for internal consumption, or custom software built on spec, the Agile product organization must be able to plan for success.

Rally's Product Owner workshop is a two-day, exercise-intensive training designed to help participants. Attending Product Owners learn:

  • Agile requirements management-modeling, user stories, acceptance criteria, just-in-time elaboration, ranking backlog items
  • Agile planning-visioning, road-mapping, release planning, iteration planning
  • The Agile product organization-how to organize to support the flow that delivers value iteratively and incrementally, whether you need to support one Agile team, or an entire program or enterprise

Course Overview

This two-day ScrumMaster certification course provides everything you need to get started with Scrum. One of the largest and fastest-growing Agile project management methodologies, Scrum is a simple software management technique that has a small set of interrelated practices and rules, is not overly prescriptive and is able to produce productivity gains for software development teams almost immediately.

Delivered by Certified ScrumMaster trainers, this course shares time-tested practices for managing product backlogs, planning your releases and iterations (Sprints) and tracking and reporting progress. You'll learn how to plan and run Sprint Planning Meetings, daily Scrum Meetings, Sprint Reviews, Sprint Retrospectives and more!

On completion, participants are registered as Certified ScrumMasters (CSMs), which includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, (www.scrumalliance.org) where valuable ScrumMaster-material and information are available exclusively to CSMs.

Important Note: Certification and membership to the Scrum Alliance is not available through the "Agile Program Management with Scrum" courses.

Course Overview

This introductory course consists of two major parts, an in-depth coverage of iterative-incremental (agile) project management, followed by an introduction of common agile project management practices.

First, the participants will learn the details of iterative-incremental development from a project manager's perspective. In multiple hands-on exercises, the students will practice estimating effort and time, planning and executing iterations, reviewing progress through retrospectives and managing risks. Each of these practices is applied in the unique context of how agility impacts project management. Additionally, the students will learn how agile project management benefits other stakeholders, including the impact of agility on return of investment, customer satisfaction, team morale, quality and many others. During the session, the instructor will highlight and explain common mistakes and misunderstandings of agile project management.

Second, this course will introduce popular agile project management techniques and give an overview of the differences, advantages and disadvantages always keeping the project manager in mind.

After this course, every participant will be equipped with fundamental skills about iterative-incremental project management as well as enough information to make a sound decision and pull the best agile project management practice out of the toolkit.
