Team members often come out of initial scrum training expecting to be a cohesive and productive team in their first sprint, only to find themselves struggling. It has become more and more clear over time that teams need a chance to digest the learnings from training, be purposeful about team forming, prepare their physical and technical environment, and figure out how they will work together on a daily basis. This practice has become known as Sprint-0.
Together we will collaborate on how to execute a successful Sprint-0 to prepare your next team for faster success. You will take away solid ideas and information on aspects of Sprint-0 as we discuss when and why Sprint-0 is applicable, create a backlog of Sprint-0 items, determine exit criteria, and learn how to facilitate the team efficiently through to the launch of their first sprint. Join us for a great collaborative session!
