How does the product owner align with scrum master, stakeholdersHugo Messer
Product owners have difficult roles. On one 'side', they need to ensure stakeholder (often powerful people) get their wishes fulfilled. On the other side they need to make sure their teams are productive. Setting clear priorities; prioritizing based on 'value'; saying 'NO' to stakeholders; not disrupting sprints; these are just some of the challenging parts of being a product owner.
Metrics To Support An Agile TransformationHugo Messer
Joerg Sauer shared his views on metrics in Agile. As companies move to agile, the focus is on teams; we deliver value frequently; we work iteratively. All these aspects change the way we should measure productivity and value. Based on his own (long) experience, Joerg shared the metrics that work.

LKCE18 Jesper Boeg - Your improvement potential is much bigger than you think...Lean Kanban Central Europe
Many people in Agile and IT talk about Toyota Kata, but it seems very few have tried it out for real at any scale or duration and actual cases are far between. In this presentation I will share my last 4 years of experience with Toyota Kata and especially the job of scaling it across all layers of a 700 people IT organization. How does it translate to a context where the flow of value is counted in days and not seconds? Where did we fail, what adaptions were made, what results did we achieve and why is it both more powerful and more difficult than any of us believed?
Don’t Let Process Hold You Back: Best Practices for Cross-Functional Collabor...Tasktop
Creating great software takes many skilled people. There’s business requirements to fulfill, technical requirements to consider, development, testing, packaging, and the release.
While having a single cohesive process is crucial to helping all these teams work together, they’re often working in disparate systems with their own processes and workflows. What’s more, these teams are often spread across different departments, buildings and even time zones.
How can you ensure your teams stay in sync and create better processes that allow individual teams to move fast and be agile, while maintaining effective cross-team collaboration? In this webinar with GitLab, we discuss how establishing a ‘single source of truth’ is critical to functional collaboration, and cover the best practices for:
- Building processes that yield better results
- Keeping cross-functional teams in sync
- Integrating tools for better workflows
- Tips for remote teams
This is one hour free webinar about Agile principles for software development.
Main purpose for this webinar is to give attendees overview of Agile methodology for software development and provide understanding of main Agile principles.
An overview of Joshua Kerievsky’s "Modern Agile", used to generate some interesting discussion at Agile Ottawa in Feb 2016.

User Story Cycle Time - An Universal Agile Maturity MeasurementEthan Huang
Trying to define a comprehensive CMMI like Agile Maturity Model?
If you're running all Scrum meetings but cannot deliver every sprint, you're not agile at all, if you don't follow any Scrum format but you're delivering small features every couple of weeks you're still Agile - deliver the highest value in the shortest time.
User Story Cycle Time - one universal Agile maturity measurement you might be able to use in your Organization cross different teams.
Real world experience from Microsoft - Deniz ErcoskunAgileSparks
Microsoft developer division has implemented SCRUM while developing Visual Studio 2012, and TFS 2012. In this talk we will cover information on this implementation. You will learn about why Microsoft has decided to implement SCRUM, best practices that was helpful for us. How implementing SCRUM has changed our cadence and product delivery cycle. The content will be our developer division SCRUM journey. We are not pure SCRUM put at future leavel we are. I will also discuss which part of our process is SCRUm which part still is not.
Anatomy of a Agile Product Lifecycle - Eilon Reshef - Agile Israel 2013AgileSparks
At Webcollage, we have been delivering a software-as-a-service web-based solution used by hundreds of the world’s leading brands (Microsoft, P&G, Sony, Pfizer). We have been using an agile development methodology, with new software releases pushed to customers every two weeks, yielding a very high customer satisfaction rates.
The talk will present the anatomy of our agile lifecycle, including:
- How and when does planning occur? How does the roadmap get communicated externally?
- When and how does the content of each iteration get decided? How do features get estimated?
- How do new features flow in and out of the system? How are large features broken down and handled?
- How do features flow within the system (elaboration, development, testing, release)?
- How are urgent requests and tickets handled?
- Communication and visual monitoring tools
- Regular meeting cadence
Deliver on the Promise of Agile and DevOps TransformationsTasktop
IT organizations are under continual pressure to develop and deliver high-quality applications – at speed - in order to provide key competitive advantage for their company.
They’ve adopted Agile and DevOps practices. But particularly for large organizations with complex application portfolios or compliance pressures, these practices have yet to fulfill the promise of enhancing an organization’s ability to continually deliver customer value. Agile has improved development and test; and DevOps has streamlined getting code into production. But these advances have been localized improvements; to get to the next step software delivery leaders must take a more holistic approach to improving the entire lifecycle.
In this webinar guest speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Christopher Condo will present his analysis of practices used in modern application delivery and will describe how creating an integrated value stream can help organizations regain their focus on the delivery of customer value.
You’re already selling ahead of your roadmap and your dev team is getting pretty big. Trish Khoo outlines two approaches to keeping pace and quality high without hiring an army, drawing on a decade of software testing at Campaign Monitor, Google and Microsoft.
The complexity in the simplicity of Agile? by Arie van BennekumAgile ME
Looking at Agile, it is so simple. In fact Agile is just structured common sense. Still so many people struggle to get their success in Agile. What is going on? The point is Agile, with all its simplicity, is based on different paradigms and the old paradigms hinder. The question is, can you identify thew old paradigms and furthermore, how do you change them. Arie van Bennekum will take you in his talk on his 22 years Agile journey and share his experience, successes, his delta’s and IATM, the Integrated Agile Transformation Model he developed for Agile transformations. IATM is a successful Agile change process to (the next level of) Agile he and his teams use doing international Agile transformations.
Changing the way we change – leveraging a combination of Lean, Design, and S...Scrum Australia Pty Ltd
Lean & Agile have a shared orientation towards customer centricity, respect for people, and continuous improvement. When applied with the right intention to the appropriate context, both domains complement each other exceptionally well in solving complex business problems effectively and sustainably. Aginic and Nik Ilich from Fire & Flint collaborated in driving a principles-first approach to iteratively designing and implementing a transformative future state service onboarding journey for clients of Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA). Through a hybrid of lean & agile thinking, the team worked closely with key representatives of CPA, sharing the driver’s seat, to pragmatically deconstruct and deliver a vision for the future with strong agile-delivery foundations underpinning its execution.

In every successful technology businesses Jeff has worked in, the key challenge has been understanding how to scale technology and when to tackle the technical debt that inevitably accrues as a company runs ever faster and faster in pursuit of its business objectives. Jeff draws on his experience to help you understand what challenges emerge as a company moves from a Developer Centric environment to become more business focused. How can you get the business people to have influence on a developer centric environment? How can you manage the challenges that marketing will present?! What principles can you apply to be aware of problems early? How do you trade Agile Practioners vs Architectural Astronauts in a fast growing business? What are the technical debt trade-offs, what problems can you buy yourself out of? What problems will kill you if you don’t move now?
Unlike traditional projects, Agile teams provide their estimates using a “top-down” approach; where they use current available information to produce gross-level estimation, and this estimation is less accurate and has less details.

Agile Estimating & Planning by Amaad QureshiAmaad Qureshi
An introduction to Agile Estimating and how it can be used to measure the size and length of work.
Agile estimating & planning is a way of measuring the size and time it takes to complete a task. This technique is used by Agile teams in Enterprise and can be utilised in the same way by Start-ups not just for software but for all areas of the business. In this talk I will show you how estimating & planning works by:
- Writing effective user stories
- Writing tests to validate stories (acceptance criteria)
- Using story points to work out the size of a task
- Estimating using Planning Poker
- Using Story Points to calculate a team’s velocity (speed of work)
- Using a team’s velocity to calculate project length
Using Agile Methodology to Deliver Projects That Transform Customers from Dou...Mike Harris
Examine the agile best practices currently employed by leading web hosting provider, Ecommerce Inc. to deliver best in class technology solutions. By employing these practices, any IT organization can move projects from unpredictable and frustrating to transparent, disciplined, repeatable and most important, successful. We will walk step by step through the practices that you must implement, which are optional and which you should avoid. You will leave this talk with a pragmatic set of tools and practices that you can take back and employ immediately on your own projects to transform you customers from doubters to raving fans.
Introduction to Agile Estimation & PlanningAmaad Qureshi
Presented by Natasha Hill & Amaad Qureshi
In this session, we will be covering the techniques of estimating Epics, Features and User Stories on an Agile project and then of creating iteration and release plans from these artefacts.
Agenda
1. Why traditional estimation approaches fail
2. What makes a good Agile Estimating and Planning approach.
3. Story points vs. Ideal Days
4. Estimating product backlog items with Planning Poker
5. Iteration planning - looking ahead and estimating no more than a few week ahead.
6. Release planning - creating a longer term plan, typically looking ahead, 3-6 months
7. Q&A
Untangling Agile Estimation - PMI Houston 2019 SymposiumJami Anderson
As more organizations transition to Agile, one of the obstacles they have to overcome is proper estimation techniques in the new methodology. This session presented by Panayiotis “Takis” Melas, PMP, CSM, SSM, SPC, Sr. Consultant/Agile Coach for MI-GSO | PCUBED, covered the core concepts of Agile estimation, and discussed recommendations and pitfalls in breaking down the work segments and estimating the work to be performed, unlocking one of the most valuable components of the Agile methodology. @MIGSOPCUBED_off
No more carrots, no more sticks … how to really use story points and velocity…Richard Cheng
Story points and velocity is often the bane of Agile teams. Management uses the teams’ velocity to measure the teams. Giving the teams praise and rewards if they make their velocity quotas, and punishments if they don’t. However, story points and velocity were never meant to be a management tool!
This session will explore the concept of estimation and how to really use estimation. In this session we will explore:
• Relative sizing (story points, Fibonacci, tee-shirt sizes) compared to time based estimate (hours, days)
• Affinity clustering techniques to get teams started with relative sizing
• Using planning poker for team-based estimates
• Using retrospectives to learn from estimates
• How to use estimates for tracking and forecasting
• How to stabilize estimates and what to do if teams can’t stabilize their estimates
• How to convince management to focus away from velocity and more towards more effective means of tracking and forecasting
By the end of the workshop, attendees have a great understanding of how to effectively leverage estimation, story points, and velocity to help plan their projects instead of ruining them!
Agile estimating - what's the point(s)?Nexer Digital
A short practical session on agile estimating. In this session we look at:
1. Understand the importance of estimating size and duration separately.
2. Understand how a team can use relative estimating.
This presentation is based on material and activities from Mike Cohn's CSPO course.

80% of software created is never used. The key to building products is to build the right product.
Standard Agile practices which iterate through a release with feedback cycles before launch are highly successful when the level of uncertainty about your product is low. However, if the level of uncertainty is high, there is a better Agile approach to making sure you get it right.
In Lean Discovery and Inception, you are able to test and validate the product strategy, discover and validate initial UX designs and scope the priorities of the MVP. The model exposes key technical risks while establishing and prioritizing the product roadmap. Outcomes include scope and team definition, budget, and a plan to execute the MVP.
Welcome to Lean Discovery and Inception
This presentation will include:
1) Construct for identifying where you are on the uncertainty spectrum and how to effectively move forward to defining your MVP.
2) Insights from real-world case studies from various engagements.

While estimating, do
we need to know who
will be working on
that part of the
delivery?
Who does the
estimate?
Does it really matter –
if you are putting
more effort while
doing the actual
work?
Does estimating in
hours mean we know
what our pace of work
should be to ensure
completion on time?

• Ideal Days
• Story Points
9. Ideal Time
How long something will
take if:
• It’s all you work on
• No one interrupts you
• And everything you
need is available
Ideally
• Monday has 8 hours
• Every week has 40
hours
But instead
Each day we have
• 2 hrs of meeting
• 1 hr of emails
• 1 hr of status reporting
• 3 hrs left for the project work only

• Story Points are the unit of
measurement for expressing the
overall size of a user story, feature,
or the piece of work.
• The number of story points
associated with a story represents
the overall size of the story.
• Either doubles OR Fibonacci Series
• Fibonacci Series [1,2,3,5, and 8]
• Doubles [1,2,4, and 8]

15. How Planning Poker Works
An iterative approach to estimating
Steps:
• Each estimator is given a deck of
cards, each card has a valid estimate
written on it
• Customer/product owner reads a story
and it’s discussed briefly
• Each estimator selects a card that’s his
or her estimate
• Cards are turned over so all can see
them
• Discuss difference (especially outliers)
