Description:
IDC research indicates that 70+% of software development failures are due to poor gathering and management of requirements, while a 2008 study by QSMA Associates showed that projects organized for Agile Development deliver products 37% faster to market, with 16% greater productivity, than industry averages.
The desire for fewer failures and speedier success is driving the rapid adoption of the Scrum process framework, and the increasing need for Project Managers who can make Agile projects successful. Scrum is designed from the start to improve responsiveness to customer needs, reduce wastage, and reduce time to market.
The Agile emphasis on adapting to change and minimizing documentation has led many to believe that Agile projects don't plan, and don't write requirements. Yet the reality is that planning and requirements definition are constant activities. Scrum Product Owners write requirements, while ScrumMasters manage the process. The two work together to plan the implementation schedule.
Project Managers working with Agile projects must understand how requirements are generated and planned, and are often responsible for producing them. This workshop addresses this need by covering basic and advanced requirements management for Scrum projects. It provides a mix of lecture and hands-on practice for all of the skills a Product Owner or ScrumMaster needs to master.
- Learn the dependencies and benefits of a Scrum Process
- Understand the key characteristics of Scrum: roles, time boxes, and artifacts
- Discover the responsibilities of the Product Owner
- Write and rank requirements
- Scale large projects and timelines
- Apply dependency analysis to Sprint scheduling
Requirements always drive the project. Learn how to manage requirements, and become an Agile driver today!
