Course Details

Many new agile teams think flexibility in their meetings allows them to do whatever feels right. In reality, agile projects move more smoothly by running short, well-structured activities. Each activity is timeboxed, so the teams stay on track and work within a set time and agenda. In Agile at Work: Driving Productive Agile Meetings, you will learn how to make agile meetings as productive as possible. In addition, you will also receive guidance on common activities such as release planning, daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and product demos. Finally, you’ll learn about common meeting pitfalls and the challenges of keeping activities on track.

Topics covered in this course include the following:

  • Define osmotic communication and describe how it helps increase productivity in a shared workspace.
  • Explain how the scope of an agile project differs from the scope of a traditional project.
  • Identify helpful techniques that will increase efficiency in stand-up meetings.
  • Recognize the developer’s role after a product owner presents the highest value stories.
  • Examine how relative estimates are formed.
  • Recall the benefits of a Heard It, Did It board.
