The November 2020 version of the Scrum Guide is set to be the biggest shakeup of the world’s most widely used agile framework in recent memory. We know so far that it is being cut from 19 pages down to 13, and is billed as “leaner, and more focused” than ever before.

All three of Agility in Mind’s Professional Scrum Trainers open the box to reveal the exciting new version of Scrum in our free FAQs LIVE events.

Join Helen Garcia and Geoff Goddard as they discuss the Cigar coaching framework.

Getting mixed up with your stories, features, capabilities, epics, and enablers? These terms are widely used by many agile teams but in SAFe they have very specific meanings.

Our consultants will go through the requirements model and discuss:

• Business requirements expressing user-facing or functional items

• Enabler requirements expressing technical and architectural work

• Epic requirements expressing substantial capital investments

In the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®), an agile release train (ART) is a team of agile teams. Agile expert, Brian Carman will discuss:

• Forming Agile Release Trains

• Agile Release Trains events

• Agile Release Train metrics and improvements

In the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) there are clearly defined roles associated with the team, program, solution and portfolio levels.

Our consultants will break down the three areas of specialism (Product, process, and technology) and highlight how they differ between each level.

By the end of this session you will have an overview of the patterns of leadership and the responsibilities of each role, to support your understanding of the SAFe framework.

Agile Expert, Paul Grew examines the difference between incremental and iterative development. Breaking down each idea separately with some insights into how to overcome common problems with each concept. The competitive advantage of combining the two concepts is then discussed, along with common pitfalls and how to overcome them.

In this excerpt from our FAQs LIVE webinar series, we describe the product-focused roles in SAFe at the team, program, solution, and portfolio levels. If you enjoyed this, why not join us for a live event and ask your own questions?

Agility in Minds will share stories and review some common challenges associated with making scaled agile frameworks such as SAFe work effectively.

This webinar will use the “Fishbowl” format from Liberating Structures. There will be some pre-prepared topics based on challenges experienced in recent engagements that will be discussed by the panel.

Paul Grew discusses what metrics are useful to help your agile team find opportunities for improvement for both the product and themselves.

Our consultants will cover metrics for:

• Product Quality

• Productivity

• Responsiveness

• Customer satisfaction

• Value

• Motivation and engagement

With 4 different levels associated with the Scaled Agile Framework® and multiple roles within them, Duncan Evans and Paul Grew discuss what roles are in SAFe, and Scrum.
