Gil Irizarry
Backlogs, story point planning, sprints, and retrospectives—Scrum describes processes that work well at the team level. But more is needed to integrate multiple scrum teams that must work closely together. Although the traditional response is to hold daily Scrum of Scrum meetings, planning and executing multi-team, multi-sprint efforts require more coordination and defined practices than a Scrum of Scrums offers. Gil Irizarry will give an overview of Kanban and how it differs from Scrum. He then will describe how Constant Contact combined the best of Scrum and Kanban to manage large development efforts. Teams at Constant Contact have better estimation techniques for the bigger picture and learned why and how to establish different classes of service for projects. Discover where continuous integration and deployments fit into the picture and some of the missteps encountered before employing Scrum and Kanban together. Gil demonstrates and discusses how they track cycle times for backlog items and the methods used for multi-team planning. Get ready to expand agile implementation beyond your team

Have you ever waited weeks for one piece of functionality so you could release a large project? Have you been in the situation where the software is waiting for the hardware? Or, where the database admin held up the entire release because his work wasn’t coordinated with the feature-based teams? Program management is the art of coordinating several sub-projects to a common objective. Until the parts are assembled into the whole, the parts have no value to the organization. Agile approaches help manage risk for projects, and we can scale agile approaches to programs.

Janet Gregory
Many teams have tried to implement agile software development practices and failed. When you read about transitioning to agile development, it sounds so easy. Why don’t all of them succeed and why do so many agile adoptions go so badly? In particular, testing seems to get off track. Iterations turn into mini‐waterfalls, stories are never quite “done”, and testers worry that they’re losing control or being set up to fail. Customers keep changing their minds and complaining that their requirements weren’t met. Obviously, some teams succeed with testing on agile projects, and others don’t. What do they do differently? Janet Gregory will share some of the lessons she has learned when working with teams that help agile teams be successful.

This session will introduce you to the concepts of the theory of constraints - the foundation of Lean & Kanban systems - and the five focusing steps to improve your processes. But rather than just hear an explanation, you will get the opportunity to put these concepts in practice and compete with your peers in improving a process flow by playing the “bottleneck game”, a game conducted as part of the 2010 Agile Games Conference.

The Agile Practitioners Problem Clinic: Mike Dwyer |
|
February 03, 2011, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm, IBM Innovation Center, Waltham, MA
Mike Dwyer
The Agile Practitioners Problem Clinic is a highly interactive session. The people participating have to be practitioners that want to discuss problems they face in doing Agile, not getting a job, not learning the basics, but practicing the art of scrummastering or agile project management, product ownership or being a team member. People who are not presently practicing are invited to listen (like chickens!)
