Teams fall into m any categories when it comes to time and attention with their Product Ow ners: 100% dedicated\, 50/50 balance between team and clients\, always fighting fires in the field\, split between 2+ teams\, and many combinat ions in between. What is the optimal footprint? Scrum Masters\, Agile Coaches\, Devs\, QA\, etc. bring your Product Owners along\, so we get t o hear from all sides on the ups and downs of the various levels. We wi ll find some best practices on balancing client needs and expectations w ith feedback and direction to the teams. Some combinations might surpri se you! \;\n \;\nWe strongly encourage you to arrive early\, buy\ \bring a lunch\, and settle in by noon. We start on time and end on ti me in a format very similar to our popular downtown pub lunches! \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: agile\, agilepdx\n\nImported from: ht tp://calagator.org/events/1250471539 URL:http://agilepdx.org/ SUMMARY:AgilePDX Westside Café Lunch: Finding the optimal footprint betw een Product Owners and their team(s) LOCATION:Nike Evergreen campus cafeteria (20540 NW Evergreen Pkwy\, Hills boro\, OR 97124): false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170413T033139Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170428T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170428T120000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170413T033139Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170413T033139Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250471781 DESCRIPTION:A self-organized team is perhaps the holy grail of agile. Ide ally\, scrum masters work themselves out of a job as the team becomes le ss dependent on managers\, scrum masters\, and project managers. But how is this achieved\; what does it take to get there? Can a scrum master s imply step away from a self-directed team yet everything remains seamles s? Or does a team still benefit from coaching and facilitation to improv e sprint after sprint?

While Agile is meant to focus teams and compan ies on delivering customer value\, very few Agile adopters today are act ually measuring value. What have you have found to be true in your expe rience? \;\n \;\nStrangely\, we often hear of teams adopting many great Agile practices but missing this core element of true value delive ry. What might be holding our Agile teams back? What stories can we sh are of Agile teams measuring value in meaningful ways? Why is it so dif ficult to measure customer and business value? What actually works? Is it measurement that most affects a team's focus on understanding and de livering value or the culture of the company? \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: A gilePDX Nike Beaverton\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/125 0472216 URL:http://agilepdx.org SUMMARY:Agile PDX Westside: How Can We Create a Culture of Seeking and Me asuring Value?

Collaboratio n means conflict. Any time we try to solve problems different opinions e merge on what to do. Transparency can trigger insecurities and conflict. Experimenting and failing/learning rapidly is not intuitive to our soci ety and is bound to generate some friction. \;\n \;\nThe stance we take when faced with conflict can help the team create something new\, or it can add to the tangle.
