VIRTUAL WORKSHOP – Adapting to Change throughout an Agile Project
*** This is an On-Demand “self-study” course ***
What do you do when your customer changes a requirement? How do you keep going when a team member is pulled away for a production issue? What happens when you start coding and realize a feature is much bigger than anticipated? You will learn how to deal with these issues and more in this live virtual workshop.
We will follow a case study, Acme Media, as they encounter issues and constraints in the middle of an iteration. We will also join them at the end of the iteration and see how they adapt and replan based on acceptance testing, team throughput, technical discoveries, and changes in the business environment.
We will also answer common questions about adapting in an Agile environment:
- Can we adapt at any time during a project?
- If we adapt all of the time, how do we get any work done?
- What is the process for adapting at the end of an iteration?
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Understand the most common issues with software projects.
- Learn multiple options for dealing with each issue type.
- Using a tradeoff matrix to drive triage decisions.
- Learn how to demonstrate and drive acceptance testing at the end of an iteration.
- Learn how to replan and prepare for the next iteration.
YOU WILL TAKE AWAY:
- Templates, Examples and Guides to use in your workplace after the workshop.
