BIMA Masterclass | Successful Agile for Digital Teams

BIMA Members Only

The 3rd Tuesday of every month is the regular spot for BIMA’s new masterclass programme – offering digital professionals practical solutions that can be used within the workplace.

What?

The principles of agile are compelling, but while widely adopted it often fails to deliver on its promise. This masterclass will take learnings from Somo’s experience across hundreds of clients and look at the deeper mindset beyond the process mechanics. We’ll dig into practical factors that make all the difference between success and failure faced with the messiness and challenges of real projects.

What will you learn?

By the end of this masterclass your takeaways and key learnings will include:

– A recap of the intended purpose, principles and benefits of agile

– Recognising and addressing some common challenges

– Product leadership within agile teams

– Making the most of the Agile Facilitator / Scrum Master role

– Practical tips for successful agile teams

Who is it for?

The event is primarily intended for people who are working in agile teams or considering it and need a real-life perspective to balance the theory. It will be particularly useful for people taking on one of the non-engineering roles in a team, but it’s also relevant to business leaders who need an awareness of what goes on and how they can contribute to success.

If you’re dealing with questions like these, this is for you:

“I’ve heard all the theory but how do you really make it work?”

“How do we get real value from our Scrum Masters and Product Owners?”

“Are either of those roles the right career move for me?”

“Why does my supposedly agile team feel so dysfunctional?”

“How can I as a business stakeholder support effective agile?”

This hands- on, interactive masterclass is designed for BIMA Members only. Don’t miss out as spaces are limited. Sign up now.
