Advanced DAD workshop in Zurich, April 8-9 2013

I will be teaching a two-day Advanced DAD workshop in Zurich on April 8&9th.  The workshop is hands-on and is meant for intermediate-level people.  People new to agile can still attend of course but may find it a bit overwhelming.  I’m always happy to stay late and help anyone struggling, and happier yet to do so over a beer.  Anyway, click here for more information.

Workshop Description:

Introduction to Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD): The Foundation for Scaling Agile/Scrum

This one-day workshop begins with a deep dive into the fundamentals of the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework.  DAD is a hybrid which combines strategies from Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean Software Development, Unified Process, and Agile Modeling and other sources.  DAD fills in the gaps left by mainstream methods by providing guidance on how to effectively organize and run complex enterprise projects.  DAD promotes the ideas that agile teams should adopt a full delivery lifecycle, focus on solutions over software, and be enterprise aware.  DAD’s goals-driven approach enables teams to tailor their strategy to address the scaling factors that it faces in practice.  Is your team large?  Is it geographically distributed?  Does it need to conform to regulations?  Does it face a complex business problem domain?  Participants will work through how to tailor their process and team structure to address these scaling factors and more.
