Ellen Gottesdiener | 10:00 – 11:15

Abstract

“Value” is the beacon, watchword, end game, justification, and mantra for Agile practitioners. You make product decisions at every turn throughout discovery and delivery, balancing multiple perspectives. And yet, many agile teams struggle to clearly, concisely, and continually use value as the basis for making product decisions. Join Ellen to explore a lightweight framework for collaboratively—and continually—identifying stakeholder values and making value-based decisions on what to build, and when.

Three winners will receive one of Ellen’s book via a drawing from live attendees. The books to be given away are:
