Scrum Master, Coaches, Berater, Manager … sie alle fragen sich oft „Wie gut ist meine Scrum-Implementierung?“, „Machen wir es richtig?“, „Was können wir verbessern?“. Gleich vorneweg: in empirischer Manier gibt es hier nicht die eine Antwort und den Blueprint, den so mancher sucht. Dennoch haben sich gute Kriterien, Tests und Workshoptechniken herausgebildet, die eine erste Hilfestellung geben. Der Vortrag zeigt eine Auswahl des Spektrums an verfügbaren Tests inklusive Empfehlungen und Eignung für bestimmte Situationen. Wer gehen auf typische Fragen rund um Assessments und Best Practices im Vorgehen ein. Jedoch eines vorneweg: Ohne einen erfahrenen Assessor hilft das beste Tool und Vorgehen nichts!

What‘s the problem?
WHY
WHAT
HOW
As a company I want to know how mature others
are in order to know whether a cost spending to
improve my methodology is a good investment
As a manager I want to know if we did the right things and
have comparable good maturity in order to show internally
that we / I did the right stuff to remain competitive
As a manager I want to baseline where we are in order to check if we are
already improving or if we can improve to some new relevant agile state
As a Scrum Master / Agile Coach I want to know what I
can improve to help my team and even get more agile
