DrupalCon Austin 2014: CONSULTANCY SCRUM: MAKING AGILE WORK FOR CLIENTS AND VENDORS

This talk delves into the challenges vendors face when implementing Scrum and agile methodologies in client-facing environments. The speakers, Todd Nienkerk, Paul Benjamin, and Suzy Bates, draw on Four Kitchens' six years of experience to explore how Scrum, originally designed for internal teams, can be adapted for projects involving external stakeholders. They compare traditional Scrum with their consultancy-focused approach and discuss aspects like Product Ownership roles, management of client expectations, and the significance of contracts in an agile context. Attendees will gain insights on transforming Scrum practices to foster better collaboration and communication with clients.
