The workshop “Agile, Scrum and DevOps – Let’s Play with LEGO” is part of TugaIT 2017 conference schedule and will happen at May 18th. TugaIT 2017 is one the greatest Portuguese IT conference and will happen between May 18th and 20th – 3 days with sessions and workshops to provide the highest possible quality training and knowledge to the community, on a variety of topics.
My friend and agile coach Nuno Rafael Gomes (@nrgomes) challenged me to take his original workshop about Lean, Agile and LEGO Serious Play (more info here) and introduce the DevOps perspective to the workshop. From our numerous discussions about Scrum and Agile he knew that I love to deconstruct Scrum, so it was easy to me to accept the challenge.
Develop software is not enough anymore, you need to deliver it. This is the trademark to my contribution to this workshop where my purpose is to introduce the DevOps values, practices and challenges. In other words, my mission is to demonstrate how DevOps can improve the way you deliver software. I like to call it the “Beyond Scrum” approach, where DevOps arises as the answer to the challenges that Scrum brought to the software development and was not able to solve.
The best part of the workshop is that we will do this playing a game using LEGO. We can garante lot of learning and fun.
