Implementing Scrum – PowerPoint Presentation. After seeing how popular my last presentation was (10 Key Principles of Agile Software Development) – and following numerous requests to do another one – I’ve created this PowerPoint presentation about ‘Implementing Scrum’.
This presentation follows my latest series about How To Implement Scrum in 10 Easy Steps. It goes step by step, with pictures and notes on each slide from my blog. The notes are not intended to be a script, but should hopefully still be very helpful. When you buy this presentation for $15, you will also get access to my last presentation free of charge! If you purchase this presentation, all I ask is that you credit allaboutagile.com as the source, do not publish it (in print or on the web) and please do not circulate it (please direct people to this address). I sincerely hope you find the presentation useful – for $15 you can’t really go far wrong! P.S. you can get both of these presentations free if you buy my 55 page eBook . Kelly. Home.
