Abstract
Agile is a mindset that allows us to think about the work we do in new ways, beyond just project management. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the basics of agile project management, including the Scrum process and Kanban, within the context of libraries. Scrum is the most well-known agile strategy that helps teams create working deliverables for stakeholders as quickly as possible in small, timeboxed increments called “sprints.” Participants will learn how to adapt traditional Scrum techniques to meet the needs of multiple simultaneous digital projects. This workshop presents these adaptations and requires hands-on group work to facilitate learning outcomes. Participants will leave the session knowing how to utilize basic Scrum principles (Roles, Ceremonies, and Artifacts) when applicable at work, explain Agile and Scrum basics to others, create shareable visuals for tracking project/work progress, and improve strategy and efficiency when working on projects.
