The Web in ABB, how we went Agile and why we love it
Jan 19, 2015
Running a project to build a website in a corporate environment is always a challenge. In the corporation that spans across the world, operates in more than 100 countries, has about 150 000 employees and 1500 web content creators, it is even a bigger challenge.
Niklas and Kacper will run you through the great journey the OneABB Team started half a year ago. In the middle of 2012 we realised that the methodology we were running our project had left some space where the tensions had arisen. Web environment is one of the fastest growing and changing one in the IT world. So does the client requirements and expectations. Having a great, skilled team, working in a friendly and honest atmosphere we were able to optimize our process, improve the communication and transparency, increase the performance and boost productivity. All of this thanks to introducing Agile methodology called SCRUM.
In the presentations you will learn about some of the problems that the big, international, distributed team can run into while working on a enterprise class project. We will share our ways to identify those problems and to get them solved with you. You will acquire a basic knowledge of main SCRUM principles and ceremonies. We will show you some very helpful tools too.
