Still Time to Reserve Your Spot for “3 Crucial Factors…”

Posted by: Johanna Rothman on 01/15/2010

Wow! I can hardly believe how many people have signed up for the brand-new free teleclass, “3 Crucial Factors For Preventing Your Agile Titanic” that Gil Broza and I will be teaching next week!

I guess we struck a nerve with many people who want (or need) to get Agile going, and who don’t have other expert help lined up.

Go here when you’re ready to reserve your seat.

On this call you’ll learn:

  • The 5 characteristics of your first Agile project that you must get right (but most people don’t consider).
  • What to expect if the first project is already selected and it doesn’t exhibit all 5 characteristics —and how to avoid disaster.
  • How to choose a winning team: one that can effectively leverage Agile to deliver the project and extract useful lessons for subsequent Agile roll-outs. (Hint: That’s not necessarily the people who happen to know the codebase or be available this minute.)
  • What to do if the team is already selected and you’re not sure it’s the right place and time for all of them.
  • How to turn this group of individuals into an Agile team. Unfortunately, many people think that just by referring to them as “Agile team” or “Scrum team” and putting them in the same room, they will self-organize and collaborate. Nope, it doesn’t work that way.

Go here to reserve your spot in this complimentary teleclass.
