THE THEME OF THE 2021 EVENT:
Value Delivery with Scrum!

The 2020 Scrum Guide update uncovered lots of people that were using Scrum to deliver work, but the value was a bit of a mystery to them! Managing a portfolio of $50M is all about managing to value. This is exactly what Jeff will be speaking on: value is very different for each portfolio company at different stages in their development. This is much more than software, as it requires business agility, however: in the end frequent delivery of Value is the reason why we do what we do…
