Description:
Agile teams are constantly faced with uncertainty and ambiguity. In these situations, your unspoken responsibility as an Agile Team Member, Product Owner, ScrumMaster, or Program Manager, is to fearlessly seek out clarity. Elliot will present a series of visualization tools that will help you to fight uncertainty and ambiguity in the following scenarios: 1) The product backlog is unknown, poorly defined, or not well-communicated 2) Realistic delivery dates are unknown 3) Cross-team dependencies are unknown, hidden, or not yet defined You’ll look like a super-star when you show up at the office with these handy tools, clear up ambiguity, and help your team to better deliver.
