Southern California/Orange County CIO Breakfast Round Table

January 9, 2014 meeting

 

Present:        David Mann, Sean Brown, Jon Hahn, Jim Sutter, Jeff Hecht, Joel Manfredo, Jeff Crowell,, Dave Phillips

The topics and speakers were selected for meetings through August 2014 – see Attachment A.

Topic:          Agile & SCRUM

David introduced the value proposition for Agile & SCRUM - improved sales efficiency, enhanced customer experience and increased staff loyalty. It is process driven, which provides a focus. Having a process is important for many reasons - time to market, productivity, efficiency and quality. People don’t follow complex processes so it has to be simple, customizable and scalable. David described a SCRUM as an Agile process. It’s not about rushing things; it is iterative, full customer involvement, frequent releases and focused on delivery.  It is not chaos.  It is dependable in terms of scope, time, cost and quality (see slides 16-23). It depends on defining milestones, deliverables, and teamwork.  I recommend that you read the attached slides.  Find them at: http://www.slideshare.net/occio .
