A Better Way to Launch

Scrum is simple to understand, but difficult to master. Over the years, we have found that teams supported through these initial steps develop better internal practices that allow them to accelerate faster than unsupported teams. By the end of our Team Forming Workshops, your teams will have an initial backlog sufficiently defined and aligned with business priorities which they can use to guide their ongoing work.
