Agile Project Management Using Scrum
In
recent years, the Internet
revolution has caused a shift in how fast technology is developed and
marketed.
We have seen the appearance of “Web Years” as a measure of time, and
the
widespread adoption of various flavors of Rapid Application Development
(RAD)
as the standard software development method used in even our largest
organizations.
There has been a parallel shift in how projects are managed. First
appearing in
software development projects, Agile Development methods are now a very
hot
topic in software development conferences and magazines. These are
methods that
stress the speed of development and close interaction with the customer
over
traditional, more bureaucratic, practices.
Participants
will learn:
- The
underlying principles of agile development
- How
agile development differs from traditional development models
- An introduction
to the Scrum methodology
- How to
extend agile methods from software development into other types of
(even non-IT) projects
- How to
get started in deploying Scrum
- Where
to find more information

“Kevin
is able to knock the dust off the old tombs of software
development practices and brings an energized fresh perspective to his
audience. I think the industry would do well to listen to what Kevin
has to say
and that’s not difficult given his ability to hold a crowd captive with
a
wealth of well-delivered content and anecdotes. I think everyone
involved in
software and IT needs to hear this stuff.”
