10:45 Agile Project Management with Scrum & Kanban
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.
Today we’ll look at one framework called Scrum and use a tool to help complete our activities.
A KanBan board.
Activity – AirForce Airplane Factory – Instructions will be provided.
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. We made one the other day so all you probably need to do is just use the login with Google Option
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)
11:30 Horror Movie Intro / Title Sequence – Group Project
Why Horror Movie title? Creepy is the season – October is nearly upon us. Plus you get to add all the cool effects like adjusting curves, tint, noise, color correction, re, smoke, crystals, stretch, distortion, smear, (need I go on) and a pile of other effects found in After Effects.
Why Group Project – we live and work with others. This is an easy project to coordinate responsibilities and roles. Don’t let your personal limits on working with groups define you. Practice, practice, practice. Hey we all can learn to dance and it gets easier (and less embarrassing) and more fun!
The Deliverables: (You know you are done when….)
- Title (your movie title is: Creeps from the Deep)
- Duration: 10 – 25 seconds
- Created in After Effects (you may also edit together in Premiere but not really necessary)
- Five Visual Effects (minimum)
- Two Text Effects (minimum)
- Scary, Creepy, Campy – convincing
- Trello board for team
- Defined Participant Roles (who is doing what) listed in Trello Board
