Agile Estimating Workshop  

 

This workshop is very focused on establishing and/or refining your team's skills in the area of product backlog item (e.g., User Story) estimation. We will work with your existing product backlog items to perform the estimating.

Agile Coaching  

 

Many companies are looking for a coach to help guide their initial use of Agile/Scrum. If your personnel have completed their initial training and you are looking for assistance in getting your project kicked-off, then Agile coaching may be right for you.

Also, if you are already in-flight with a project and just want to have an expert come review how you are doing, then our Agile coaching may be right for you.

Example types of coaching activities including facilitating or reviewing:

  • Sprint Planning meetings
  • Sprint Reviews
  • Sprint Retrospectives
  • Release Planning
  • Team member selection
  • Multi-team structuring and coordination

Agile Transition Management  

 

Many companies are looking to adopt Agile across different projects and/or business areas. If you are one of these companies, then you know there are many important "transition" issues (outside the scope of any one project) that have to be addressed to be successful. We call this overall process transition management.

We known something about this topic, since Kenny Rubin wrote one the seminal books in this area and has applied transition management practices with many different companies.

We can help you develop an appropriate Agile Transition backlog of items that need to be addressed by your organization to help better ensure your success.
