About the session
This is the story of one scrum master, who, fresh from the tech world, came to work with a non-technical team to get them up to speed in Agile.
Join me in this case study, as I cover why Agile struck fear into the hearts of the team I joined, how I fell into the jargon trap before working out how to introduce agile concepts successfully, and what’s working well for us and what’s next.
Participant takeaways:
- Don’t bombard a new to agile team with jargon
- To be successful in moving a waterfall team to agile, introduce concepts as ways of successful working rather than buzzwords
- A team can be agile without knowing all the names for ceremonies or having memorised the agile manifesto
Themes: Agile Transformation, Culture, Learning, Agile for Non Technical Teams
