Summary
Healthy, successful agile teams rely on a robust Continuous Integration implementation as the hub of their agile infrastructure. Many of the agile practices depend on Continuous Integration (CI) in order to provide their full value. For instance, unit tests are the most valuable when all unit tests are run automatically on a frequent basis. Scaling agile to large and/or distributed teams also depends on CI. Conversely, CI can be used as a leading indicator of the health of your agile teams.

Highlights

  • Get best practices for transitioning to Continuous Integration
  • Understand the strong link between CI and one-piece-flow, unit tests, short iterations, whole teams, refactoring, user stories, shared code ownership, distributed agile and large scale agile

On many projects, teams fail to start at the beginning. They jump right into defining requirements (and sometimes solutions) before determining the boundaries for project.

Project Managers face the costly consequences of scope creep, often because they have failed to define the project boundaries. Without understanding the boundaries of the project, there is no mechanism in place to differentiate between true and perceived scope creep.

Get off the “scope creep merry-go-round” by starting your projects at the beginning by clearly defining the Project Scope.

Solutions Cube Group’s 1 hour webinars address many relevant project issues. Join us for this presentation ofs “Start Your Projects at the Beginning: Defining Project Scope” and learn how to recognize and overcome these far too common barriers regarding project scope definition.

In the Project Scoping Course, students learn how to document the boundaries of every project by defining the elements of a clear Scope Statement.

Course participants will be able to:

  • Understand how to set the boundaries for your project
  • Understand the components of a Scope Statement
  • Understand how the Scope Statement impacts the creation of all project deliverables
