This webinar guides participants through Agile practices when applied to large-scale projects, which can broadly be defined as projects that involve over 50 people and take months or years to complete. Hubert will walk participants through the five levels of Agile planning – from yearly planning conducted by the product owner to the daily stand-up meetings of the delivery team. The added levels of planning are not artificial or time-consuming, and they focus the right group of people on the product with the right level of detail. Zach will share how teams can use Agile and Rally’s Agile life cycle management solutions to plan, communicate and track project progress across multiple teams. At the end of this webinar, participants will have many new processes and tools for planning and tracking Agile software development.
