Let’s face it. Estimation is a difficult beast to deal with, more so on an agile project specifically, when talking at the release level. Features need to be scaled, because it’s too difficult to manage large programs with just user stories. Release planning becomes too detailed if you don’t have a middle tier of features representing what you’re trying to build.

Does this happen with your software releases too???

Nurturing Organizational Transformation into Scrum Practices

Presenter: Mr Kirti Vaidya

Focus on an iterative Organizational Transformation into Scrum Practices by establishing a program which implements a few specific practices at a time on select pilot projects within fixed duration time-frames. A practice is implemented as a reusable asset consisting of roles, workflows, work products, and guidance. The program runs Scrum sprints where teams are trained and coaches embed the practices within the pilot projects. Feedback matures the practice definitions which then get published across the organization.

The Power of Relationships

Presenter: Niloofer Giri ji

Agile is all about people and their interactions and relationships. To succeed as a Scrum team, we need to form strong inter-team and intra-team relationships. But do we really understand the relationships???

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Relating is an art, a skill, a talent….
Our whole lives are spent relating to objects, beings and circumstances.

There are various unseen laws and principles that govern our relationships.

Knowing these laws means that we don’t unknowingly injure ourselves or others while relating.
On the other hand, one could make use of one’s knowledge of the laws to build strength and power, dependability and trust, sustainability and independence in relationships.

Most relating is often impulsive, based on likes or dislikes, based on inner pressures, or family, peer and society pressures.
Based on ignorance, we find relating based on fear or anxiety, excitement or monotony.

A capacity given to us to help enrich life…needs to be understood well, if we wish to align ourselves with the power that is inherent in relationships.

To understand the delicate intricacies of relationship and how to nurture them for collective success, join our acknowledged keynote speaker Niloofer Giri Ji as she explains this rather intriguing part of our psyche in a most mesmerizing way.
