11:05 Introduction to Agile Project Management with Scrum & Kanban

KanBan Board

Today’s modern office setting, especially in the technology production and design fields is based on solid project management practices. Companies like Dealer, EASports, Zynaga, Google, General Motors all work in teams formed for specific purposes.

The goal of these teams is to deliver ideas to market in the shortest amount of time with the greatest user satisfaction. How do they do it?

Presentation Materials Slide Deck

Definition: The Agile Approach
Is a practice that enables teams to produce high quality work and complete projects early and often. The proven standard for software development.

Activity #2: Trello

Create an account with Trello (https://trello.com/en-US) using your school gmail account. The style of board you will be making is called a KanBan board.

Create a KanBan board for (some suggestions to work with)

  • College Planning / Application Process
  • Personal Project
  • School Project
  • Champlain College Portfolio Requirements

The point of this activity is to get familiar with the tools available for breaking down a large project into small deliverables. Break your KanBan board into 3 columns: To Do, In Progress, Complete.

Begin to create your To Do’s (also called a Project Backlog) on your board.

You will share your KanBan board with me (wbohmann@ewsd.org)
