Scaling Scrum
Overview
The Scaling Scrum workshop is a 2-day workshop on how to scale Scrum for large scale product and software developments. Participants come to the workshop needing to know how to put together the infrastructure, interfaces, techniques, tools, and practices to scale Scrum. They leave with the ability to meld them into one instance that supports an organization’s scaling needs.
Scaling Scrum is not an overview class, but a hands-on workshop. It is oriented to organizations that are already effectively running small Scrum projects. Attendees will learn through instruction and work in teams. They will practice scaling the Scrum events, roles, and artifacts into the power of a single framework. Attendees will depart the workshop knowing the most appropriate framework for their scaling needs.
The Scaling Scrum workshop is led by management and engineering practitioners who have done large scale Scrum work. They will establish the criticality of a single Product Backlog strategically directed by a single Product Owner. Through interactive exercises, they will also demonstrate how teams must integrate and deliver their work by the end of the Sprint in a single, usable, potentially shippable increment in order to manage risk and scaled efforts. The result is the attendee’s ability to get the benefits of a single Scrum team for their entire organization.
