Scrum and Continuous Improvement

Ken Schwaber | 11:45 – 01:00

Abstract

Scrum is a framework that can be used for continuous improvement. For instance, product backlog is more than just list of requirements. How can it be used to create roadmaps, plan releases, and optimize value?

Another topic will be the steps beyond Scrum’s initial use that can be used to improve value and enterprise competitiveness. Ken will also discuss recent changes in Scrum, and his and Jeff Sutherland’s new book, “Software in Thirty Days.”
