Agile Marketing: Sprint Planning & Project Estimating (201) (Virtual)
Agile Marketing Mastery Program 201
(Virtual Half Day Workshop)
This workshop is the second part of the ANA’s Agile Marketing Mastery Program, a four-part series designed to give you exposure to all facets of Agile Marketing and equip you for implementation at your organization.
In this virtual workshop, participants will get a closer look at the players involved and their responsibilities within the Agile process by taking a deep dive into the Sprint Planning and project estimating process. These two parts of the process make up the foundation of a successful sprint and usually where the most challenges arise. Following a deep dive on the fundamentals, participants will be given the opportunity to apply what they learned to a campaign specific to their brand, using the Poker Planning process and tracking team times via Team Velocity.
This engaging virtual workshop contains individual exercises, case studies, and real-world examples to give you ‘real world’ experience you need to be able to implement Agile on the job. The workshop will also enable your team to develop their own Agile implementation plan for the team. It will re-inspire your team to greater communication, collaboration, and to deliver their best work.
