Project Management in an Agile World - Without sophisticated and expensive project management tools, how can you effectively compare and contrast the completed work compared to an original plan? I'll show you examples of simple spreadsheets that can help explain progress upwards to senior leadership as well as across to Scrum and Product teams. These spreadsheets assume that your teams are planning multiple sprints and then executing on that plan. Scrum Tips & Tricks - You're doing all the Scrum ceremonies, but are they effective? For stand-up meetings, sprint retrospectives, and sprint demo (review) meetings I'll provide some suggestions to make sure that teams stay focused on sprint goals, are effectively performing sprint retrospective meetings, and effectively communicating completed work to the audience in your sprint demo meetings.
