Summary
The presentation will focus on "Winning with Scrum" and will be presented by Joseph Little, of Kitty Hawk Consulting, Inc.
Scrum is one flavor of Agile, and, based on some evidence, the largest flavor of Agile. Scrum also plays well with other flavors of Agile (such as XP) and with other practices. Scrum has proven very successful in making teams noticeably more productive, both for Software Development and for other types of efforts.
In this talk we will describe the skeleton of Agile. We will talk about how it originated, and what its values and principles are. We will then discuss the main roles of Scrum, the Product Owner, the ScrumMaster, the Team, and the Stakeholders.
We will also discuss the main artifacts and the main meetings of Scrum. We will then discuss how much benefit Scrum can bring and what the key problems are to successfully adopting it. We will then entertain questions.
We expect you will come away with an understanding of:
* the basics of Scrum
* what powers Scrum
* some of the myths about Scrum & Agile
Chapter Meeting Presentations
As a means of helping chapter and local community members who are certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP®) satisfy the continuing education requirements for re-certification, PMI Metrolina Chapter arranges its monthly meeting schedule to allow a 1 hour PDU training session to be incorporated into its normal meeting.
Topics presented during these sessions are designed to not only satisfy the PDU requirement for re-certifying as a PMP, but to also provide wide appeal to people involved in project management regardless of whether or not they are certified PMPs. The 1-hour sessions meet the educational requirements to qualify for 1 PDU credits for maintaining PMP® certification or to meet the requirement for attending 35 hours of formal project management education prior to applying to sit for the PMP® exam.
The sessions are open to all.
Meetings are located at the Blake Hotel
555 South McDowell St.
Charlotte, NC 28273
