With all the different scaling options that exist today, it may seem like there is very little agreement on how to scale the Product Owner role.
Don McGreal, co-author of the best selling book 'The Professional Product Owner', will introduce five Product Owner Delegation Models (5Ts) that can serve as a guide regardless of what scaling framework may be in place. You will leave this session with a better understanding of the role of Product Owner, especially at scale, and you will have a way to map each model to your existing structure.

Through Industrial Revolutions, Hardware development changed the paradigm and adopted methods and practices from Agile Software Development. What are the key patterns, and how to implement them? We will see case studies of authentic Scrum implementations in Industrial Manufacturing companies, and we will try to open a glimpse in future scenarios. By attending this session, you will see practical examples on how to implement Scrum in Hardware development, and you will:

• Learn why Teams work and how to set up a Scrum Teams with Hardware
• Understand how to scale up a product development initiative with multiple teams and vendors
• See how to make R&D and Production Teams work together and dramatically reduce time to market.
• Observe the current trends and the imminent future

Learn how to use the Scrum framework to systemically enable continuous improvement. Design and construction projects are complex and typically are delivered late and over budget with dissatisfied customers. Scrum is a management framework built on Lean and Agile principles that enable teams to align, adapt, and deliver projects with high reliability that satisfies customers and builders alike.

Scrum is lightweight and can be adopted during any phase of a project by one person, a team, or several teams regardless of the contract delivery model. Scrum enables people to regularly and incrementally improve their work without overburden or waste. During the session, participants will make personal Scrum boards using notes or digital tools of their choice while learning about Scrum. Some case study examples from design and construction teams will be shared to show how Scrum is being used to remove constraints in LPS, manage work, and support the installation of work in the field.

Felipe Engineer-Manriquez helps implement Scrum with teams worldwide on job sites and in offices alike with typical results including reductions in management work hours while simultaneously increasing successful work throughput. Many teams report 20% schedule improvements, fewer emails, and better communication as a result of using Scrum alone or with other Lean tools like LPS, Takt, 5S, etc. Some teams have even sustained productivity gains of 2X and 3X the levels of their non-Scrum workflows. Join in and learn how to make your first Scrum board with insights gained from working with thousands of professionals.

This talk is based on Evelyn’s experience from coaching organizations large and small, and mentoring agile practitioners globally from over 70 countries.

Globally, many work with Scrum, for years and for decades. Yet, there are so many opportunities for improvements.

She will discuss and share the importance and practices of looking beyond the terminologies, and how we can move towards a value-driven strategy to advance our ways of working, enhance products, and stimulate innovations.
