Thank you so much for joining me at Elabor8 July’s meetup, where I shared my experience*on how to build an actual branch by embedding cutting edge technology into branch operating model and using the Scrum methodology.

Product: The Branch of the Future

Period: 6 sprints

This presentation was aiming to help:

1. A Business Analyst in a medium to large organisation and transitioning to a Product Owner role;
2. A Manger transitioning to a Product Owner role; or
3. Currently a Product Owner interested in seeing the Scrum methodology applied in the delivery of infrastructure and hardware projects, as well as application layer.

Challenges and Solutions 

• The old team structure and the new Scrum team
• An absence of vision: a soup with all of the requirements
• Alignment with the organisation’s strategy
• The story of the user vs the customer
• No time for training!

Recommended books

 

 

3 effective books that helped me structure my educational goals appropriately, and which will hopefully accelerate your learning.

 

I truly enjoyed our conversation and was glad we could answer a few questions. I don’t think I put anyone into sleep 🙂

 

I did my best to make this presentation as short as possible. Link: Agile Beyond Software Delivery
