About the course:

Scrum is a simple but powerful agile management framework. Key to its success is the role of the Product Owner: The Product Owner steers and guides the Scrum project, bridges the gap between end customers, business and development/IT and is responsible for the return on investment (ROI).

This two-day interactive course equips you with all you need to know about being an effective product owner.

Attending this course will enable you to understand the product owner role in depth and learn the practices necessary to succeed as a product owner. This includes the product owner duties, the role’s authority, and its interaction with the other Scrum roles and stakeholders such as customers, users, sales, marketing, and management. You wlll understand how product planning, product discovery and product definition work in Scrum including taking advantage of early customer feedback and emergent requirements. The course also teaches you how to turn a product vision into a successful product including forecasting the project progress, grooming the product backlog, and effectively collaborating with the ScrumMaster and team in the sprint meetings.

This interactive course teaches practical techniques through instructions and hands-on exercises.

Audience

Product managers, product marketers, business analysts, requirements engineers, project managers and ScrumMasters who would like to deepen their understanding of the Product Owner role and related practices.

About the course:

Agile project management is as radically different from traditional project management as agile processes are different from traditional methodologies. Rather than plan, instruct and direct, the agile project manager facilitates, coaches and leads. This person is called a ScrumMaster.

The purpose of this course is to train ScrumMasters. The participants will learn how to make a development team, a project, or an organization agile. Exercises, case studies, and examples are used to bring home the realization of how to be a successful ScrumMaster.

Each individual is trained to be able to assume the following responsibilities:

• Remove the barriers between development and the customer
• Teach the customer how to maximize ROI and meet their objectives through Scrum
• Improve the working conditions for the development team
• Improve the productivity of the development team
• Improve the engineering practices and tools so each increment of functionality is potentially shippable

Each participant will receive a copy of the Scrum training materials.

Certification
From October 1st 2009 participant are required to pass an online exam (multiple choise) to be Certified Scrum Master. You’ll have 90 days after the course to pass the exam. For more information please see Scrum Master Exam at Scrum Alliance.

This seminar will teach you how to use organizational patterns to improve your Scrum implementation. Each organizational patterns is a small, local approach to strengthening your Scrum Scrum. Patterns capture solutions to similar problems seen in other organizations, and because they are incremental and empirical, they can help you with your Agile process improvement.

The patterns we present in this class have all been through the extensive reviewing process of the Pattern Community (PLOP) to ensure that the solutions are broadly reproducible. Furthermore, each pattern has been scrutinized by some of the leading Scrum people in the world. Their conclusions?

We have divided Organizational Patterns into 3 categories:

• One set of Organizational Patterns that map directly to the Scrum framwork, e.g.: Firewall – Someone has to keep the monkeys off the developers’ backs. Who would that be in Scrum? Well, the Scrum Master protects the process and is there by a firewall. Less obvious is that the Product Owner is also a Firewall, in making sure only one set of requirements come into a sprint. What about a manager, can a manager be a Firewall? (also see the pattern Patron Role)

• One set of Organizational Patterns that map directly to a Scrum software implementation. So even if it is not part of the Scrum framework, it is still considered good practice, e.g.: Get on with it – Even if you don’t have a complete, comfortable plan to get started, take what you know and take it forward to build an initial product.

• One set of Organizational patterns that can inspire thinking and dialog that amplify Scrum process improvement, e.g.: Face-to-Face Before Working Remotely that relates the success that comes from having team members spending some face time at their remote partners’ location before starting to work across the miles.

At the end of the class you will know how to use patterns to find and improve the weak spots in your Scrum implementation.

Experience and formal studies have shown that incremental approaches to architecture can possibly lead to poor structure in the long term. This course shows how to use domain analysis in a Lean way to build an architecture of form that avoids the mass of structure that usually accompanies big up-front design, using only judicious documentation.

It will also show how architecture can accommodate incremental addition of features using Trygve Reenskaug’s new DCI (Data, Context and Interaction) approach, and how it maps elegantly onto C++ implementations.

The course is based on the forthcoming Wiley book of the same title (http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470684208.html).

“I samarbejdet med Jeff Sutherland, opfinder af Scrum, har jeg identificeret en række organisatoriske hindringer for, at scrum kan blive en succes. Identificerede nøgle forhindringer omfatter uddannelse, at definere READY, at definere DONE og gennemførelsen af god teknisk praksis. Vi har udviklet dette kursus for at løse disse problemer. Hertil kommer, at dette en-dags kursus omhandler nogle af de centrale problemer med CMMI herunder det, at processerne bliver for tung. Det er virkelig sjovt og spændende, når en organisation når den rette balance mellem fleksibilitet og disciplin”, forklarer  Kent A. Johnson.

Amerikaneren er CTO i AgileDigm, et internationalt konsulenthus, der blandt andet arbejder i partnerskab med Scrum Training Institute. Fokus er på at supportere de organisationer, der står overfor udfordringer i emplementeringen af agile CMMI, som Kent A. Johnson kalder det.

I Danmark har IT og Telestyrelsen udgivet en IT modenhedsmodel, der bygger på mange af de samme krav, der står i CMMI modellen. CMMI bruges til at opstille krav til den konkrete arbejdsgang. Hvad der skal leveres af resultater, og hvordan det hænger sammen med andre processer i virksomheden. Det har den fordel, at virksomheden kan udarbejde og tilpasse egne processer til de konkrete behov, der igen er afhængig af parametre såsom kvalitet, produktlevetid, økonomi osv.

CMMI er opbygget af best practises, der er afprøvet i utallige internationale virksomheder – i alle brancher. Det i sig selv vidner om, at modellen nok er god nok som grundlag for at opbygge gode og sunde processer inden for projektledelse, teknologiledelse, procesledelse samt ikke mindst ledelse generelt.

Kent’s long-term clients include one of the only Agile Organizations in the world to achieve CMMI Maturity Level 5, the highest level of recognition.  Kent is an SEI-certified SCAMPI High Maturity Lead Appraiser, an SEI-authorized CMMI^® instructor, and a Certified ScrumMaster.

Internationally, Kent has helped clients in over 25 countries to improve their systems and software processes. He has helped clients move from Maturity Level 1 to Level 5 using both the CMM and CMMI.  He has conducted over 50 formal appraisals, including several high maturity SCAMPI Class A appraisals.  He is co-author of Interpreting the CMMI: A Process Improvement Approach, Second Edition, Auerbach (2008) and several other books.

He is past Chairman, International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Systems Architecture Working Group.

Prior to joining AgileDigm, he was the Director of Systems Engineering for TeraQuest Metrics, Inc. (later acquired by Borland Software).  While at Borland, he served as the project manager for one of the largest process improvement projects within Europe at NATO in the Netherlands and Belgium and led the Process Improvement Group within Borland’s EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) Region.

He is a former Senior Member of the Technical Staff and Program Manager of the Process and Methods Program at the Software Productivity Consortium (SPC – now Systems and Software Consortium).  While at the SPC, he co-authored and led the team that created the software and system development method used by over 800 engineers in a dozen companies for the development of the F-22 Advanced Tactical Fighter.  Prior to joining the SPC, Kent was a Senior Engineering Scientist at Emerson Electric, where he successfully managed the development and integration of several complex software-intensive systems.

He has conducted presentations and tutorials at conferences worldwide including US SEPG conferences, European SEPG conferences (Amsterdam and London), Latin America SEPG Conference (Argentina), Software Engineering Systems Analysis and Modeling Conference (Stockholm), INCOSE Conferences (USA), Java and Object Orientation Conference (JAOO-France), and Software Technology Conferences (USA).

Scrum and CMMI are often at odds with each other. What does each approach bring to the table? Scrum promotes the idea of focusing on the most important product issues first and supports frequent communication. CMMI brings a structure that promotes consistency and discipline to avoid waste and rework. So, why should we try to combine both approaches? Is this combination a good idea?

Scrum is a systematic, repeatable way of doing things – important for CMMI. A good Scrum implementation supports areas important to a good CMMI implementation, including project management, engineering, organizational change, code review, continuous integration, and automated testing in the build process.

Introducing Scrum into an organization is fraught with impediments. Additional impediments occur when striving for hyperproductive Scrum. We explain how using the CMMI’s enterprise focus has addressed many of these impediments.

In this course, participants will learn how:
• a lightweight CMMI implementation can move Scrum to hyperproductivity
• a well-defined Scum implementation can move an organization through the CMMI levels.

Team exercises will build on the exercises from the first two days of the Certified ScrumMaster course and will cover:
• enterprise implementation of Scrum
• training the team
• using checklists to reach hyperproductivity.

Course Materials
Materials include copies of the briefing slides and a copy of the technical report “CMMI or Agile: Why Not Embrace Both!” Students successfully completing this course will receive an official signed certificate.
Intended Audience

This course is intended for individuals that have attended Scrum Training Institute’s standard two day Certified ScrumMaster course including managers, team members, and process engineers in organizations developing and maintaining software-intensive systems.

”Agile arbejdsmetoder er som teenage sex: De fleste taler kun om det, og dem der rent faktisk gør det gør det ikke særlig godt”. Citat Jim Coplien.

Nu tilbyder Trifork Academy hele 2 kurser, hvor Jim Coplien deler ud af sin store erfaring med agil udvikling.

Scrum Organizational Patterns (organisationsmønstre) er beskrivelser af ofte forekommende relationsstrukturer, der hjælper en professionel organisation med at opnå sine mål. Disse mønstre er fundet ved at analysere flere professionelle organisationer og identificere fælles strukturer i deres sociale netværk. Scrum Organizational Patterns hjælper specifikt en virksomhed til at forbedre implementeringen af Scrum i organisationen.

Lean Architecture for Agile Software Development viser dig, hvordan du kan få det bedste af den agile verden og samtidig bygge på en robust arkitektur. Det har længe været en genstand for diskussion, at de agile udviklingsmetoder modarbejder tanken om en storslået arkitekturplan, før udvikling påbegyndes. I dette kursus kan du lære, hvordan du ud fra domæneanalysen med en Lean metode kan udvikle en softwarearkitektur, som kan udvikle sig lidt efter lidt med stigende brugerkrav.

Jim Coplien er manden, der har opfundet Organizational Patterns, medstifter af software udviklingens patterns, en pioner indenfor objekt orienteret design i starten af 90’erne. Ligenu arbejder Jim Coplien som software arkitekt og agil konsulent hos Gertrud&Cope i Danmark. Han er også partner i Scrum Training Institute, der levere Scrum undervisning til hele verden.

”Det jeg selv har haft brug for, er indsigt i den agile arbejdsproces set med en udviklers øjne. Hvordan skal du som udvikler agere i en agil hverdag. Det vil jeg give mit bud på”, siger Thomas Ardal, der afholder kurser både med fokus på Java og .NET.

I en agil udviklingsproces er det ikke kun vigtigt men essentielt, at der ikke går et halvt år mellem integrationen af systemer. Test drevet udvikling og kontinuerlig integration har været en god løsning i en vandsfaldsmodel. I den agile udvikling er det et krav!

Som udvikler hos Trifork A/S har software pilot Thomas Ardal stor erfaring med de tekniske krav til at arbejde agilt.  Han vil fortælle om sin erfaring med at implementere brugen af TDD, hvilke tools man har til rådighed, og hvad er fordelene og ulemperne. Hvad er best practices, og hvad er anti patterns i forhold til continuous integration. Med andre ord et teknisk orienteret kursus, som alle Scrum Mastere i princippet bør deltage på.

”Det bliver praktisk anlagte kurser, hvor deltagerne får mulighed for at prøve de nye metoder af under kyndig vejledning. Målet er at kursisterne går herfra som agile udviklere”, lover Thomas Ardal.
