Friday, Aug 16 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM Junior Ballroom A

Description

The first rule of Scrum is that everyone else is doing Scrum wrong. The first rule of Agile is that you’re actually just doing Waterfall with sprints.

We’re going to talk about the philosophies of Scrum and Agile, and what the hell you’re actually supposed to be using story points for. We’re gonna dig deep into how you should actually be measuring your dev team’s productivity. We’ll go over some common misconceptions and pitfalls, and finish up with some tips for practices you should be striving for as well some baby-step approaches to fixing your processes.
