Agile Team Tune Up

Inspecting and Adapting your Agile Implementation

Overview

This 2 day workshop helps an Agile team (the delivery team, scrum master and product owner) as well as stakeholders to inspect their process, to design a lasting continuous improvement framework, and to learn more on topics that challenge them.

The two days are delivered as a 1 day process retrospective followed by a 1 day made-to-measure training on desired topics. Additional follow-on coaching and training may also be arranged as desired.

Problem

After completing several iterations, an Agile team will have adopted some practices successfully, some partially, and will still be challenged by others. This intermediate state requires a focused inspect and adapt process and many teams may struggle with how to improve and what to focus on next.

Solution

Through a facilitated process inspection combined with specific training and coaching sessions, a Rally Agile coach will help the team overcome plateaus in productivity, delivery, and quality of products delivered.

Intended Audience

If any of these statements echo feelings from your team, the Agile Team Tune Up is the ideal workshop to improve team practices and process.

As an Agile team, we want to continue to mature so that we can get even better in the delivery of products for our organization.
As a development manager, I want to learn about the state of my Agile team so that I know where to help them improve.
As an Agile team, we want answers from an expert on issues and impediments that have been limiting us in the past months, so that we can overcome these hurdles in our Agile adoption.
As a product owner, I want to get better at evolving the product backlog, so that backlog items are always ready for the next level of planning and I can better support the Agile planning process.
