Scrum in education: how agile is empowering teachers and principals in the no...Scrum Australia Pty Ltd
by James Hayes & Shannon Russell
This is a story of agile adoption outside of the traditional environment of agile teams. The eDash program faced a number of challenges, including the need to make sure that principals and teachers in remote communities had a voice in the priorities of the project. Similarly, it was vital to make sure that the solution developed would be enthusiastically adopted by educators across the Northern Territory. This was an organisation new to agile and under pressure to deliver from within and externally.
Despite these and many other hurdles the NT Education department, partnering with Aginic, have delivered a product that has generated excitement amongst the NT teaching community and has already begun bringing about small positive improvements to education across the territory.
We will be sharing our lessons learned and our success stories in bringing about a shift in mindset that allowed NT Education to embrace a new way of working and achieve such a fantastic outcome for teachers and principals.
I am more than will to forward on my cover letter to any interested parties and am currently looking for a position in the Charlotte/Mooresville, NC area.

Building a One Stop Shop for Exceptional Constituent ServiceSalesforce.org
Do your students, faculty and staff suffer from the walk-around where they don’t know where and how to get answers to their questions? In this session, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego discuss how they created a “one-stop shop” for their constituents to ask questions, get help, and find all of the answers they need. UC Berkeley will discuss how they created a center of excellence where students can get the help they need and find answers to questions both online and in a single physical office. UC San Diego will address their implementation approach and strategy of its customer service web portal to campus faculty and staff to present campus employees with a single, centralized portal to ask questions, report issues, and request services that resulted in an increase in self-service, work performance improvements, and strategic and prioritized campus relationship management.
