Come see how to keep your team on track with the “3 Rs”: You'll keep your teams building on a Rhythm (their iteration cadence), building the Right thing (from the vision), and working the Right way (with craftsmanship and technical practices).

This will be a fast-paced session and we'll cover a lot of material. Come prepared to learn and participate as Jared provides a foundational understanding of The GROWS™ Method and how it can move your company forward.
