Agile and Scrum for Stakeholders
For projects to be truly successful, it is important
that the people that technology teams interact with
have a good understanding of Agile and Scrum. The
Agile way of software development emphasizes the
need for strong collaboration between the business
and development teams. With a good foundation on the
concepts, values and principles of Agile and Scrum,
stakeholders will be able to understand the vital
role they play and be able to contribute more to
projects.
Topics covered include:
About the stakeholders. The first part of the
lecture defines the stakeholders in software
development projects. The main highlights in this
segment are the pain points in traditional software
development experienced by the business. This gives
context to why there is a need for a new and more
innovative approach to developing products and
prepares the thinking of the audience on the change
in mindset that lies ahead.
About Agile and Scrum. The second part defines Agile
and Scrum in ways that are more relevant and
relatable to business stakeholders. In order for
them to understand whatÆs different in this
approach, we present how Agile combats the most
common problems experienced in Waterfall approaches.
We also discuss a comprehensive version of the Agile
values.
Stakeholders and Scrum. The third part opens with
the discussion of Scrum and the roles û with an
emphasis on the stakeholder role. The segment also
tackles how the stakeholder interacts with the Scrum
team on a high-level perspective. Specific
stakeholder responsibilities are also discussed.
Fulfilling the roles. The fourth part aims to
educate how stakeholders can fulfill the roles
specified in the previous segment and the changes
they can expect by being more involved in
development projects. We outline specific Scrum
events and avenues where they can exercise their
obligations. Tips on how to maximize stakeholder
feedback and participation are also given.
Stakeholder partnerships. The fifth part covers
techniques for effective stakeholder partnerships.
These are great pointers for technology
professionals, Scrum Teams, most especially Product
Owners, who will be reaching out to stakeholders for
their involvement. Agile and Scrum adoption success
stories are also discussed; with a focus on how
stakeholder involvement contributes to success in
projects.
