Event Details

Swarming in Scrum

March 16th 6pm-8:30pm

The last few MCJUGs have been very technology oriented, its time we take a step back and pay some attention to the software development process. I give you Jim York! I've taken a scrum master class with Jim, he managed to get it through my thick head what scrum was all about and why it is a good thing. I am confident he'll be able to provide you with some of that as well!

Speaker bio:

Jim helps organizations build lean and agile enterprises.  For over 20 years as a management and IT consultant, Jim has mentored and coached teams and leaders at all levels of the organization.  Jim’s interactive training sessions and coaching cultivate the skills and qualities needed to direct and support the implementation of lean and agile principles and practices.

Presentation outline:

Swarming in Scrum:     
Using Team-based Customer Acceptance Test-Driven Development to Drive Collaboration      
Scrum teams deliver features quick and often. This rapid delivery is made possible by chunking features into small valuable bits. The Scrum Development Team can then swarm on a small bit and rapidly turn its requirements into a working feature for the customer. Testing is essential in this process to ensure a good fit for the customer and to focus the team.     
Jim will lead attendees through a team-based customer acceptance test-driven approach that shifts testing from the end to the beginning of the development cycle and has testing shepherd activities throughout the Sprint.

Schedule:

6:00 - 6:30 Pizza, mingling
