Learn new skills or test your existing skills for new product development. Make new friends by forming teams to meet the challenge of imagining, defining, implementing, and selling a product from scratch. If you have a laptop and know how to work with a spreadsheet, then you have everything you need to dive deeply into the TimeKeeper case study. Master techniques for integrating high-quality Agile product development practices at the program level. Achieve higher levels of Lean value delivery and program agility using practical tools for fast flow, fast feedback, and fast learning - the famous Three Ways of DevOps. Discover the powerful connection between team discipline and DevOps engineering excellence. Have fun while learning and doing.

Each participant receives a student workbook containing extensive page-by-page notes, references to original sources, and the TimeKeeper case study. The case study vision is a fully worked out example of a simple spreadsheet-based product which has been in use for over ten years; workshop participants reengineer this product. The four-page vision statement is a model of system integration quality. You and your team will apply Scrum and XP practices to deliver value every 20 minutes!
