In this webinar you will learn the step-by-step process to move smoothly from a waterfall to an agile organization.

Agile is a relatively new methodology, and many organizations are embracing it as a more effective way to develop software and more.

Terrell will discuss how a majority of these organizations are applying the Scrum framework to implement agile.

Implementing a successful agile development process has the potential to transform a waterfall development organization from slow, mammoth releases to quick, iterative release cycles that deliver working products to the customer sooner.

Once an organization has a firm grasp of agile basics, moving from a yearly release cycle to a weekly build-release cycle, it will realize substantial benefits.

Terrell will cover:

• What is agile and what is Scrum?
• The Scrum Guide
• Garnering management support for agile
• Five levels of agile planning
• Key players and roles on an agile team
• The backlog – user stories and acceptance criteria
• Agile estimation methods – story points and ideal hours
• Just-in-time requirements – grooming the user stories
• Sprints and sprint planning
• Sprint review and demo
• Retrospective and continuous improvement
