Room: Mesquite 1-3

"Our main problem doing Scrum is…" Agile coaches know that those new to Scrum often complete this sentence by describing symptoms rather than the root causes of their issues. It is hard to solve a difficult, multifaceted problem when you are in the middle of it. Enter the Agile coach. In this session, for both internal Agile coaches and those who work with external clients, Druckman will provide techniques to get to the root causes of common problems with Scrum and share best practices to help clients move their businesses forward.

Speaker: Adam Weisbart

Mon., May 6, 2013 from 3:30 p.m. – 5 p.m. Pacific

Room: Paloverde A

It is essential for all development team members to know the basics of Scrum but a good ScrumMaster must be skilled at dealing with Agile Antipatterns quickly to help his or her team and the organization move forward. In this session, Weisbart will detail how to identify an Agile Antipattern and attendees will leave with a powerful set of tools to assist them in defusing antipatterns in the field.

Weisbart will also facilitate the "Open Space: The Magic of Collaboration" sessions on Wed., May 8, 2013 during the event.
