DESCRIPTION
The framework we call Scrum grew up and out of software development. But it didn’t stop there. Scrum is now pervading all non-I.T. domains: Marketing. Sales. Human Resources. Operations. Finance.
Scrum promises to improve every functional area of a business. But for Scrum to do so, executive leaders must first deeply commit to engaging in the implementation of Scrum. And do so far beyond the mere authorization of funding.
Because the use of Scrum affects every single aspect of an enterprise, executive leaders must be prepared to deeply engage, inside the topmost teams defined by ScrumAtScale: The Executive Action Team, and the Executive MetaScrum.
What You Will Learn:
In this session, two acknowledged experts in the ScrumAtScale framework introduce you to how this system of organizing work amplifies executive-level strategy, vision, and execution. You’ll learn about the inner-workings of the two topmost executive teams: the Executive MetaScrum and the Executive Action Team. You’ll learn how to scale Scrum to potentially hundreds of teams.
Most importantly: you’ll learn very specific techniques for deeply engaging executive leaders in the execution of S@S across the enterprise, and leave with a toolkit for implementation, in PDF format:
- If you can’t Scrum, you can’t scale: establishing your S@S Reference Model
- The Executive MetaScrum: accountable for Product vision, strategy and execution
- The Executive Action Team: accountable for S@S transformation and Product Release
- Getting Executives ready for S@S:
- The Authority Circle event (with PDF Takeaway)
- The Ready for S@S Checklist (with PDF Takeaway)
- What the Science Says about Scrum Ceremonies At Scale
- Additional Toolkit and Resources for Scaling Scrum
