Agile Leadership Network Houston

Playing to a full house, APLN Houston conducted it's very first workshop introducing agile practices to the agile "innocent" with great success.  From agile principles to product backlogs to user stories to retrospectives, participants acted as agile teams engaging in games, exercises and great discussions to better understand how agile projects work.  To summarize their day,  each team also created a product box highlighting their take aways.  Many thanks to all our participants who gave us some great feedback on how to improve the experience for next time.

Agile Beginnings Workshop

• Are you new to agile and confused about how it could possibly work?
• Are you beginning to understand the concepts and principles, but need to see them in practice?
• Have you heard about agile project management or self-organizing teams and wonder how they are different from what you do today?
• Have you heard about a business person working with the delivery team but can't imagine how they actually work together?
• Do you wonder what a Scrum Master is really the master of?  Or what a Product Owner actually owns?
• Are you unsure how to answer that senior manager who wants to know when you will be done?

Then this workshop is for you. Whether you are a project manager, business analyst, developer, tester, architect, product manager, team leader, business manager, quality control analyst, or simply "agile curious" this workshop is your chance to get some hands on experience with agile practices. Come roll up your sleeves and jump into a day of activities, exercises, and interactive discussions that will let you touch and feel agile practices and take them out for a spin.
