How many times have you completed a project and given it to your stakeholder, only to find out it wasn't exactly what they needed? You gave them a rocket ship when all they wanted was a bike. We've been there, too. We knew we needed to adjust how we manage our work and how to include stakeholders. As soon as we started learning, adapting, and implementing their project management methodology, we immediately saw increased accountability, transparency, efficiency, collaboration, and professionalism in our work on our team, and in our stakeholder relationships.

In this session, you'll learn how to incorporate Agile Scrum into a design team. First, you'll explore how to get started by creating team buy-in and gaining stakeholder support. Next, you'll learn the Agile Scrum framework, what it looks like in action, and how to implement it in your team. Finally, you'll understand how to include stakeholders in the process in a way that ensures efficiency and collaboration. Our goal is to show you how incorporating Agile Scrum into your design team will help you create better products, more meaningful communication, as well as increase trust with your clients as you show professionalism and efficiency in your work.
