Meeting Topic:   Managing Multiple Scrum Teams Across the Enterprise

Meeting Learning:  

As organizations move to an agile model across the enterprise many things have to change.  A couple of examples of such changes might be the PMO and Architecture groups incorporating rolling wave planning and the introduction of the role of a Scrum Master to the HR team.  At this months meeting we'll learn first hand of some of the challenges and rewards that Cerner has encountered in its evolution.

 

Meeting Description: 

In the past 4 years, Cerner's development culture has transformed with the adoption of Agile practices. We will go over our experiences of how Scrum Masters and Technical Project Managers organizationally fit in as well as the pros and cons of having multiple scrum teams and how teams determine who will be a scrum master.

 

We would like to encourage participants to come prepared with questions, as we would like to guide the presentation to your interests.

About the Speakers: 

Shahzad Zafar and Rachelle Wright are both Technical Project Managers at Cerner Corporation and are Agile Champions. They facilitate Cerner’s Agile Boot Camp courses and have been leading agile web development teams since 2009.

Hope to see you there!
