Scrum

Co to jest Scrum?

Szukasz efektywnego sposobu na stworzenie i rozwój produktów? Chcesz wiedzieć, gdzie naprawdę jesteście w dowolnym momencie? Chcesz móc reagować na zmiany otoczenia, rynku czy oczekiwań klienta? Chcesz wykorzystać wiedzę, którą zdobywacie w miarę rozwoju produktu? A może ilość niewiadomych i ryzyk jest tak duża, że ciężko zaplanować wszystkie aktywności? Jeżeli na choć jedno pytanie odpowiedziałeś tak, to Scrum jest prawdopodobnie tym, czego szukasz.

Get Agile #20 | Lyssa Adkins | What is Agile’s bigger role?

“Agile has crossed the chasm,” said Lyssa Adkins during the conversation with Tomasz Wykowski in Dublin. It was almost five years ago so they’re returning to this conversation to define Agile’s landscape and see how it evolved over the last few years. Lyssa, the co-founder of Agile Coaching Institute, currently focuses on helping leaders understand the changes happening around them. Listen to their conversation to learn why she avoids working with the leadership team from the agile perspective, why she doesn’t do what she’s often asked for, and what she does instead.

Tomasz and Lyssa also discuss how Agile has evolved over the years, and how the nature of the change has changed as well. They’re looking for potential new areas to apply patterns created in software development and how it impacts what Agile Coaches do and focus on.

Get Agile #17 | Robin Dymond | How can the Agile movement help companies affected by disruption?

Many managers hold assumptions that stop their companies from changing the way they operate. Pandemic, climate change, and other recent disruptions have challenged these assumptions, making supply chains fragile, introducing chaos in stable environments, and forcing companies to question their core business practices. Tomasz Wykowski from ProCognita discusses with Robin Dymond, Certified Scrum Trainer how the Agile movement can help non-software firms, including construction and oil & gas companies, go through the profound change – how to create more adaptive and more resilient organizations, how and where to start, how to reach leaders from these companies, and how to build trust with them.
