Agility Foundations 2.0
During this two-day course, the LACE will cover the foundations and principles of Agility.
What is Agile?
Learn more about Scrum, Kanban, and how the core principles of Agile are applied to digital product development.
Attendees will gain an understanding of Agile Values and Principles, Social Contracts, Key Agile Roles, and more!
Product Quality is an organization effort from the time an idea is formed until we receive feedback from end users. Join us for this session to see the whole picture on quality and how the entire program owns and creates quality.
Ever wonder what the engineers are talking about? Interested in following the conversation and asking better questions? Attend this two hour session to demystify concepts such as Test Driven Development, the benefits of continuous integration, how automated tests work, and what are the techniques and practices that enable rapid, high quality, and successful agile software development.
Psychological Safety is a shared belief held by members of a team that others on the team will not embarrass, reject, or punish them for their ideas and contributions.
Establishing a psychologically safe environment in your teams and programs is critical to reach the highest level of team performance and output. Come to this Community of Practice to understand how psychological safety is intrinsically tied to performance, how to conduct conversations in a way that rewards contributions, and identify behaviors that increase or reduce the productivity of your team or program.
During this two-day course, gain an in-depth understanding of how to effectively perform their role in the Agile Release Train (ART) as it delivers value through Program Increments. Explore how to apply Lean thinking to decompose Epics into Features and Stories, refine Features and Stories, manage Program and Team backlogs, and to plan and execute Iterations and Program Increments. Attendees also discover how the Continuous Delivery Pipeline and DevOps culture contribute to the relentless improvement of the ART.
In this two hour learning session, the art and technique of managing program backlogs will be demystified. Learners will see how to understand the program backlog in the context of the larger product vision, what preparation is needed for and the mechanics of the program backlog refinement meeting, Feature refinement, the program kanban, and the PI Roadmap.
In this two-day course, attendees gain an understanding of the role of a Scrum Master in a SAFe enterprise. Unlike traditional Scrum Master training that focuses on the fundamentals of team-level Scrum, the SAFe Scrum Master course explores the role of the Scrum Master in the context of the entire enterprise, and prepares attendees to successfully plan and execute the Program Increment (PI), the primary enabler of alignment throughout all levels of a SAFe organization. This includes learning the key components of Agile at scale development, how Scrum is facilitated throughout the enterprise, and how to execute Iteration Planning.
During this two-day course, you’ll gain understanding of the Lean-Portfolio Management (LPM) approach to collaborate across silos, empower teams, and organize around value to adapt to what customers want, faster.
Attendees will discover how critical aligning strategy with execution is to any organization’s success and a key aspect of Scaled Agile Framework®. The LPM course helps executives, project management officers (PMOs) and other key stakeholders plan dynamically and be flexible enough to adjust initiatives and budgets as the market changes.
There is a common misconception that design and development are at odds. One prioritizes understanding and the other prioritizes solutioning. Lean, agile, and human-centered design philosophies are meant to be complementary approaches to getting work done.
During this two-hour course, co-facilitated by the CCSQ Lean-Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) and the Human-Centered Design Center of Excellence (HCD CoE), attendees will discuss and explore how teams can thoughtfully integrate design and development needs, share responsibility, and achieve a balanced approach to delivery.
