    One of the most pragmatic and useful courses I have ever done in my 17-year work history. I love the fact that it is something I can use in both my personal and professional life and is valuable for everyone regardless of hierarchy or seniority. It is rare I would recommend a course to ANYONE, but I have already recommended it to several people, and I only completed it a few days ago.

Ten Risks That Can Kill Your Digitalization Project (and how Scrum can help you master them)

Audience
Executives, Stakeholders and Managers in Product Development, Sourcing, Service Providers (In-house, On-shore, Near-Shore or Off-Shore).

Abstract
Murphy was an optimist. Everything that can happen will happen, including the risks that can bring your project to a standstill - unless you take action to ensure that they don’t occur. A digitization project is ultimately a software project. How do the risks of a software project differ from those of, say, a construction project? Scrum and other agile frameworks have been developed to reduce risks and increase the likelihood of success for software development projects. How should Scrum work? What are the most common risks that should be avoided in a digitization project? We'll examine delivery risk, time and budget risk, scope risk, and seven other risks, and how Scrum and other agile frameworks are designed to prevent and mitigate those risks.

Impact

  • Create a shared vocabulary for business and technical leaders to discuss project risks effectively
  • Understand why fixing the scope in product development is not in the interest of the client.
  • Understand the control that agile frameworks give to business leaders to manage and reduce risks
