Prácticas Técnicas para Scrum Masters y Agile Coaches

Slicing (partitioning) is critical in achieving a good continuous delivery flow and reducing feedback cycles. We will see different slicing techniques that, complemented by the use of specification techniques with examples based on 'natural' language (Gherkin), can help teams deliver exactly what the user needs without ambiguity or repeated back and forth.

In Agile development contexts, estimation methods are based on the opinions of those who will do the work. It is quite beneficial that the activity is facilitated by someone who is not involved in the estimation. In this workshop, we will go through three estimating techniques along with a bunch of tips to facilitate them. At the same time, we will see a set of techniques to move from estimation to planning. Finally, we will learn how to monitor the execution, adapting the initially agreed plan as necessary.

Agile development proposes a quality and testing approach that differs from the traditional one. We'll look at the implications of this approach and the common questions teams often face: what kinds of tests to do? How many tests of each type to do? When to do them? Who should do them?

In recent years, DevOps initiatives have gained tremendous popularity. As a consequence, various terms and techniques have become common currency. However, for people lacking such a technical background, understanding all this and being able to add value to its implementation can be a significant challenge. That is why we will conceptually see the implications of a DevOps work dynamic together with its usual terminology, techniques, and tools for its implementation.
