Scrum is built on the principles of self-organization and self-management. So although Scrum teams receive direction on what to build, from their Product Owner, they do not have a conventional boss telling them how to do their daily work. This is a cultural shift away from the way development teams have traditionally worked in the past. Scrum empowers teams to make decisions and encourages project transparency, team collaboration and better communication. This webcast is for software developers (programmers, architects, testers, analysts, UI designers, etc.) and ScrumMasters who want to know what it feels like to be on a properly functioning, self organizing Scrum Team. 


About the Presenters:

Michael James, CollabNet Certified Scrum Trainer and Agile Transformational Coach
CollabNet

Michael James is a software process mentor and CollabNet Scrum Trainer, focusing on the engineering practices that enable agile project management. Having worked in the software industry for more than 20 years as a software developer (formerly “architect”), he has experience in automated testing that predates the Extreme Programming movement; formal, phased, high-ceremony processes based on DOD-STD- 2167A; chaotic non-processes of the dot-com era; and agile processes including Scrum and XP. Michael helped produce the CollabNet ScrumWorks agile project management tool in consultation with key thinkers in the agile community, including Ken Schwaber. ScrumWorks — now available as both downloadable freeware (Basic) and a commercial release approaching its fourth major release (Pro) — is used by more than 125,000 software professionals worldwide.  As an Agile coach, Michael has found that teams learn best when he can work alongside them “in the trenches.”  This one-on-one interaction allows him to share agile practices and insight while tackling real organizational challenges.
