Day 1: Agile Thinking and Value Development

Principles of Agile Work

• Deliver value early through smaller increments
• Use feedback to adjust direction
• Treat change as information over failure
• Analyze a project for agile delivery

Product and User Value

• Define user problem and intended outcome
• Order work by value and risk
• Avoid turning Backlog into request list
• Build a simplified value map

Scrum Team and Empiricism

• Explain Scrum role accountabilities clearly
• Connect transparency, inspection, adaptation to work
• Identify how Scrum values support collaboration
• Simulate a Scrum accountability scenario

Day 2: Backlog, Sprint, and Incremental Delivery

Applied Product Backlog

• Write understandable items suitable for ordering
• Define Product Goal guiding future work
• Refine items as understanding improves
• Create Product Backlog for the case

Sprint Planning and Sprint Goal

• Select work matching capacity and priorities
• Frame goal providing shared team focus
• Build flexible plan for selected work
• Conduct a concise Sprint Planning session

Increment and Shared Definition of Done

• Set shared conditions for completed work
• Prevent unfinished work being marked done
• Inspect Increment against value and quality
• Evaluate Increment against Definition of Done

Day 3: Inspection, Adaptation, and Sprint Simulation

Daily Scrum Progress Toward Goal

• Inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal
• Adapt daily plan when conditions change
• Avoid turning event into status report
• Run a focused Daily Scrum

Sprint Review and Team Retrospective

• Gather stakeholder feedback on the Increment
• Adapt Product Backlog using lessons learned
• Inspect team effectiveness and improvement opportunities
• Conduct events using one project case

Running Sprint Simulation

• Manage unexpected change during the Sprint
• Protect Sprint Goal while adapting work
• Present an Increment to stakeholders
• Record specific improvement for next Sprint

• Value and Backlog exercises using a realistic product case
• Role-play covering Scrum accountabilities and team interaction
• Scrum events practiced with inspection and adaptation
• Short Sprint simulation from planning through review
