- Understand the use of scenario planning to assess roadmap choices
My Role as an Agile Manager
When software development teams move to Agile methods, managers often wonder what their new roles and responsibilities entail within an Agile environment. Self-organizing Agile teams still need guidance and assistance in achieving goals, however, and managers must support these teams by providing direction, assisting ScrumMasters to remove impediments, and helping program management and business needs fit in to the iterative cycle. ??At a high level, managers will learn how to help teams become Agile and identify the most pressing constraints preventing agility.
The Essential Product Owner: Partnering with the Team
The Product Owner (PO) role is arguably the most crucial role within agile teams. Unfortunately, we often hear horror stories about PO’s who are going it alone—who aren’t available to their teams, who change their minds incessantly on business priorities, and who ignore quality requirements and technical debt. Even the best struggle to meet the many demands of the business while still providing sufficient team guidance. If your are a team or PO struggling to effectively deliver results, you’ll leave with ideas for establishing an ecosystem where the Product Owner and the team drive continuously improving performance.
