Metrics Classes

All Metrics Classes Worlwide

Measuring progress in an Agile project is often harder than expected. Burn-down charts and velocity are great, but they are not always sufficient.

Metrics

Programme and Course Overview: 

More often than not, teams find that to meet the needs of their sponsors, a more comprehensive set of metrics is required. This course helps you set up a minimal set of Scrum metrics that will meet the need of your sponsors while avoiding the common error of measuring everything.
You will learn about Malcolm Gladwell's miscalibration errors, practice using Scott Downey's minimally invasive Scrum metrics and practice using key metrics from Donald Reinertsen's project economic framework. You will practice using Xebia's Agile Balanced Scorecard and create your own comprehensive set of minimally invasive metrics.

Target Group & Prerequisites: 

Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Project Managers who feel the need to improve their current set of metrics.
Anyone who is interested in measuring the progress of Agile projects.
Requirements
Attendees must be comfortable working with a spreadsheet program like Excel or Numbers. Some experience as a Scrum Master, Product Owner or Project Manager will be an added advantage.

Maurits Rijk

Maurits Rijk has experience in the IT industry starting in 1991.
Since that time he has worked for several multinationals in many different roles before he made the move to Xebia in 2007.
Within Xebia he works as an Agile consultant. He would love to have lived in Leonardo da Vinci’s era, so he could have been a polymath (a person whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas). But within his limited time he tries to combine a family live, a strong passion for software metrics and toying with cool new and sometimes obscure programming languages.
His favorite language at the moment is Clojure.
