Masterclass | Elephant Carpaccio

Date: August 10th, 2023 | Time: 1 pm to 4 pm

A day of crazy fun and skills acquisition – And no elephants ever get hurt!

This world-famous workshop is licensed free of charge to many teachers around the globe, it is that important that everyone learns these skills. However, the greatest value comes in taking it from the inimitable originator!

The active part of this workshop is developing a seemingly very small and simple spreadsheet or program to calculate prices for a product. There is nothing particularly hard about this assignment, it is an ordinary business problem cast into an ordinary spreadsheet. That is not the point of the workshop.

The learning in this workshop is how to slice that little problem into 15-20 growth stages, which reduce risk, deliver value, produce income, provide market learning points, and allow pivoting the business all with the smallest energy.

After reviewing the problem and practicing in discussion groups how to do this, the end of the workshop is a 40-minute exercise in five 8-minute rounds, where teams must demo their results to other teams at the end of each round. A very noisy, energetic, frustrating activity that highlights both the gains and the tensions in working in small increments.

The activity teaches how to slice business initiatives, whether marketing or product, into thin enough pieces to fit into any size of timebox or sprint, and why that is beneficial.

If programmers are available, they can use their programming environments instead of the spreadsheet, so that they learn why and how to work in carpaccio-thin slices on their programming problems. Paired with a business person, the two see both the technical aspects and the business aspects of the problem. Whether pure business or business with programming, all of the slicing decisions are based on the business situation, not the technology aspects.

This is an intense exercise that shows business-side and development-side people both, how to work in the fine-grained style needed for modern agile development.

Stacia Viscardi

Stacia Viscardi

Stacia Viscardi is Executive Director, Product Manager at JPMorgan Chase & Co and Author of “The Professional’s ScrumMaster Handbook” at AgileEvolution Inc.

Stacia has primarily found herself in the role of business agility and transformation coach, but has also played the role of ScrumMaster and Product Owner countless times over her career.

MasterClass | Certified Scrum Product Owner

Date: August 10-11th, 2023 | Time: 9 am to 5 pm

As more companies adopt agile methods, the role of the product owner becomes ever critical in the rapid development of products. Traditionally, a project manager gathers requirements in the usual ways and manages a team as they execute the requirements; usually, there is very little or no contact with the customer and/or end users in these traditional scenarios.

Agile changes this in that the product owner directly and continuously works with the development team members throughout the course of the product in its lifecycle, as well as manages the stakeholder community of users, customers, and other departments within the organization. Whereas a traditional project manager would make decisions about scope, time and cost of a project, product owners now own these decisions real-time in order to appropriately place and pivot their products within their respective contexts.

This course introduces the product owner to Scrum as well as helps them understand their role and responsibilities in helping the team deliver high-quality software that meets users’ needs. We will explore the product lifecycle, design thinking techniques, prioritization frameworks, and story-writing, as well as critical feedback loops and how they enable better product decisions. We will also explore some facilitation techniques that the product owner may employ in various settings, as well as how to work closely with the ScrumMaster and Scrum Team in the various Scrum meetings/dialogs. The instructor is well-versed in product development across an array of industries and will be able to tailor some content accordingly. This course results in the Certified Scrum Product OwnerTM (CSPO) Certificate.

MasterClass | Agile at Scale, Spotify Model

Date: August 10th-11th | Time: 9 am to 5 pm

Price: 1495

This course will give you inspiring real world examples of how Spotify grew a dynamic learning organisation that continually reinforces a high-trust culture and supports highly engaged and empowered product teams.

The ”Spotify Model” of agile at scale has had a huge amount of attention in the agile community since it was first shared widely in 2012. Though never originally intended as a framework or model, the case study of Spotify’s approach to agile working has become a hit with a large number of organisations who have opted to imitate the method.

This course will help leaders and teams to understand how and why it was optimized, the challenges that come with the method, and how companies can adapt and continue to evolve while employing this strategy of agile at scale. You will gain a deep and wide knowledge of how Spotify works under the hood, which will enable you to see more options for improving organisational design with regards to your context and boundaries.

You will learn why Spotify made the decisions they made, other options which were considered, and which changes were intentional and which were emergent. This hands-on workshop will explore underlying principles and go into specific practices and mechanisms. You will learn how to combine small, autonomous teams with strategic business alignment, how to work with leadership and growing leaders, innovation and the values and beliefs which shape the culture which created ”The Spotify Model”

Joakim Sundén, the teacher of the course, has long experience from working at Spotify and was directly involved in developing several of the key concepts of “the Spotify Model”.

Example topics covered in the course:

  • The history of the ”Spotify Model”
  • How to build great autonomous teams (a.k.a. Squad or Empowered Product Teams)
  • Organisational structures to support the squads (Chapters, Tribes and Guilds)
  • How the Spotify Rhythm strategic framework and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) can be used to create alignment instead of control
  • Servant Leadership in practice – developing and supporting empowered people and teams
  • The culture, principles and core beliefs that are fundamental to succeed with this model
  • Think It, Build It, Ship It, Tweak It – The Spotify Product Development Framework for Discovery and Delivery
  • What radical transparency and communication looks like and strategies to share knowledge and ideas in a network organization
  • Challenges, failed experiments, and lessons learned

Goals

The goal of this course is to provide tangible examples of how to create a great place to work that enables agile at scale. Participants will leave inspired with ideas on how to redesign their organization to better engage employees and leverage the power of empowered autonomous teams.

This course is for…

  • Progressive leaders, and managers
  • Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Managers, Project Managers and Agile Practitioners
  • Organisational change agents, consultants, and HR

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge in Agile principles and practices, e.g., experience with Scrum, will help you better understand some of the content.
