Learn agile methodology and create a roadmap for the agile community meet-up

• What we'll do [New Idea]
After introductions, members will vote on what they would like to do at this session. We will use this first session to provide an introduction to agile methods, Scrum, Kanban, LEAN followed up by Q&A. Instead of coming up with ideas in this first session, I have provided a list and you can vote for an activity or add a new activity to the list. Might be a better use of our time!

The List:

• The Agile Mindset - Discuss Agile Principles and Values
• What is Scrum?
• What is Kanban?
• Creating a Product Backlog
• Writing User Stories
• How to estimate your work? ( Relative estimating techniques and absolute time estimates)
• Creating an initial release plan for an agile project
• Scrum Roles explained (Product Owner, ScrumMaster, Team)
• Difference between Project Manager and ScrumMaster
• What is an agile coach?
• Techniques for scaling agile projects?
• Techniques for splitting User Stories
• Techniques for facilitating great Retrospective
• ?

• What to bring
coloured markers and pens if you have any to share. Post it notes (lots of it)

• Important to know
The goal of these sessions is to learn so that we get a better understanding of what it means to transition to an agile working environment. I will be happy to facilitate and support other coaches if they would like to run some of the workshops.
