Practical Tools For Agile Teams
Session title: Practical Tools For Agile Teams
Presenters: Gwyn Morfey and Laurie Young
Abstract:
In this fast-moving and varied presentation, Gwyn and Laurie will condense over a year's worth of retrospectives into one hour of shiny new practices that have been stress-tested in small web development teams.
We'll talk about the Wall of Wire, the Sword of Integration, and how to play Speed Poker with commitment and without cards. This is an experience session, so each new tool will be supported by a description of the problem that caused us to develop it, and the results of putting it into practice.
Other areas we'll cover:
* How to keep your stakeholders focussed using Blackberry Breaks
* How to stage an Agile Intervention on a stalled project
* How to manage multiple small projects without massive overhead
* Why it's sometimes better to have an outsider run the stories workshop
* When to buy lunch (and when not to buy wine with lunch)
* And many others |
