In the workshop we use the Scrum and agile ideas (including the values and principles), and put them in practice to do real project work. So, it makes the ideas from the course much more real for people.
DurationThe attendees have told us that this Agile Release Planning workshop is very valuable. And clients have told us that adding a 1 day (or 2 day) ARP workshop to the course enables much more value to be obtained from the course, and overall.
The workshop can also be done separately, or in-house.
Specifically, the best situation is to have real teams (perhaps a beginning Scrum team) do their Release Planning (for ¾ of a day). We discuss Release Plan Refactoring (aka Product Backlog grooming or Backlog Refinement).
We also have them work on the follow-through into the first Sprint. Then we walk them through the other meetings in the first sprint, helping them visualize what that first sprint will be like (this takes roughly ¼ of the day).
This is done with the real project they are currently in, or, even better, the real project (effort, product) they will start on Monday.
By Release Planning, we mean: discuss Vision; develop Product Backlog; assess Business Value; assess Effort (Story Points); discuss Risks, Dependencies, and Other things; order the work; make the scopedate trade-off; calculate the cost/budget; and finalize the initial plan.
We also discuss what to do with the initial Release Plan, and how to refactor it every Sprint afterward. It is better if business stakeholders can also attend the workshop. Certainly it would be valuable to have the Product Owner also attend.
Other Topics Are Sometimes Included.
As the leader of the workshop, we set the agenda, coach as needed (in our view), and coach as requested. We are usually pretty busy, yet we try hard to stay out of the team’s way, so that they may, to a large extent, start to self-organize. Not about what Scrum is, but about their team, the customers, the product, their work, etc., etc.
