WHAT: At SD Best Practices, https://www.cmpevents.com/SDe7/, Smits

of Agile practices:
All-Out Scrum: Experiencing a Product Release Managed by Scrum
This session takes the writing and talking about planning in
large projects to a different level. Participants will lead a
large project, experiencing what hits a team or an Agile project
manager during the life cycle. The session is based on Smit's
paper, "The Impact of Scaling on Planning Activities in an Agile
Software Development Context."
Planning with Distributed Teams
In this session, attendees will use project information to
simulate a release planning session. The group will create a
release plan based on the backlog and the capacity of the
respective teams. Attendees will be separated into two teams to
better experience the problems faced by distributed teams as
they work toward success.
