Day in the Life of an Agile Team Simulation

[Mark Davidson]

Hello,

 

As a member of Agile Iowa, I would like to invite you to attend a "Day In The Life of an Agile Development Team" simulation. This is a single-day agile project simulation offered by Pillar Technology. March's event sold out in just 19 hours and was a great success. The average survey score was above a 9.

It provides a full day of hands on practice on how to develop software using iterative and incremental methods. There is more information on the specifics of the class below. Developers, Analysts, Project Managers, Quality Analysts, and Management are all invited to attend.

We are offering this class in Des Moines on April 23rd at a cost of $49. This covers the cost of the facility, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and a fun USB drive with the presentation on it to take with you.

If you register, bring a laptop. Although it is not required, you can have a bit more fun with one.

Notes on the class:

 

Pillar has designed a single-day agile project simulation that is engaging, educational, provocative, and fun. We divide attendees into teams and use a GUI-based Integrated Development Environment. Each team spends most of the day breaking down and completing an agile project. This Simulation introduces concepts like time-boxed iterations, user stories, collective estimation, commitment to a product owner for iteration scope, formal verification ritual at iteration conclusion, tracking velocity, and making results big and visible through burn-down or burn-up charts. The exercise is designed to simulate not only how agile teams and practices work, but the inevitable challenges and hiccups that arise as teams attempt to adopt several such practices at the same time.
