You’ve chosen the team, got everyone prepped and now it’s time to start your first Agile project off the ground. Can you adapt Agile to a current process? What steps will help you create a new culture? This is the workshop that will help you think about integrating Agile to current processes, identify the uniqueness in the nature and sequencing of deliverables, and determine when to use “soft stories” in place of “hard stories”.

3:30 pm - 5:30 pm WORKSHOP C: Laying the Foundation for Scrum: Developing Case Studies from Pilot Programs
What is Scrum? How do Scrum and Agile Processes differ in the automotive space? When do you use Scrum in place of traditional processes? To close the day we are going to focus on a popular Agile Process: Scrum. In this forum, you will learn to determine when you need Scrum. Then you will learn how to identify the appropriate team, start and of course document the process from the story to testing.
