Agile CT Monthly Meeting

Studying Scrum and DOING Scrum are very different. Studying is just the first step. There's much more value to be extracted from doing. In this meeting, you will see what real Scrum looks like. You'll participate in a complete simulation, building a complex product. You won't have all the answers at the start of the game....

This meeting is an experiental workshop. You'll be one of a team of 4 or 5 people, thrown into the deep end of the pool to explore spikes, story sizing, team dynamics, sprints, pulling the "what", defining the "how", conducting Sprint reviews including demos and retros. In the workshop you build a very complex product in a timebox with your team. Each iteration ends in minutes and you must deliver a value when the iterations are over. There are all sorts of surprises in this workshop, including some key learnings about team dynamics, team composition, experimentation, and some mid-course corrections. This is a fast-paced Scrum simulation experience.

Because of the limited space, only THIRTY participants will get in. Your registration is an EXPLICIT commitment to attend. This is first-come, first served. There is no money cost to attend and you are expected to be present if you register. Please do not register casually.
