Agile and Beyond 2016

Alexey Krivitsky’s LEGO Game is a great way to experience Scrum. This variation fits into 90 minutes, yet keeps all the learning objectives. You will learn and practice: • Pre-construction estimating using "swimlane estimation". Balancing estimation time with construction time. • Scrum cadence: Planning->Sprint->Review->Retrospective for 3-4 sprints. (We do one Daily Scrum.) • Creating Scrum artifacts: epics, backlog, sprint planning board. • Scrum roles: responsibilities of the Product Owner, Business Sponsor, and ScrumMaster. • The importance of the team communicating with the PO, the PO with the BS, and teams with each other. • How to be flexible when "stuff" happens. Additionally, participants will get all the instructions to run their own LEGO game, and tips on what and how to buy LEGOs.
