Drowning in a thousand priorities? Stakeholders disengaged? Team waiting for what you'll bring?
Manage the backlog so it unites the team toward a common goal and communicates progress to customers and stakeholders.
Drowning in a thousand priorities?
You will try out how a compelling product goal helps you separate the wheat from the chaff and focus on what matters.
A "sorted list" is not always the most suitable visualization. We will introduce you to other ways to visualize the backlog – from mind maps to story maps.
You will find out what and how to record in the backlog – formats that work and those that just slow you down.
Is your team slowed down by uncertainties during planning?
You will learn techniques for splitting and slicing large items, so that every Sprint you can deliver something valuable.
Refinement is a team activity. We will help you involve the entire team in backlog management. Yes, even the programmers.
Using User Story Mapping you will identify the smallest version that fulfills key customer needs and allows you to iterate quickly.
How to gain stakeholder support and keep them engaged?
Not all stakeholders are equally important. Map them and prioritize who to have more frequent contact with. PO sometimes stands for Political Officer.
We will show you how to prepare Sprint Review so that customers and stakeholders want to be part of it and provide valuable feedback.
We will show you how to transparently communicate progress toward the product goal and manage uncertainty along the way.
