Scrum Team User Training
Starting a pilot and want to get everyone trained? Was your Agile pilot a success and now you are ready to go big with Agile? Want to get you and the rest of your team running at peak efficiency? The next step is to see and experience first-hand how a successful Agile project operates at scale.
In the Scrum User training, the Agile experts from AccuRev will get you trained on the benefits of Agile and how a successful Agile project works. The one-day training covers the nuts and bolts of a typical Scrum-based Agile process, from entering new requests as User Stories all the way to shipping a product.
You will break up into small cross-functional teams and work together to write user stories, create a story point scale, use Planning Poker to estimate stories, create a backlog, and “ship” two versions of their software project. Shipping the project will involve iteration planning, backlog grooming, and release planning.
“Instructors engaged the audience right from outset and responded extremely well to all the questions. Training was very well structured. You guys did a fabulous job. Thank you.”
