From Design Thinking Prototypes to Agile Projects

Inspirational new ideas for complex problems often fail in implementation. In this workshop, the participants occupy themselves with the interface at which the idea is translated into a product. 

The participants work in small teams to translate a product idea into a product. They use the 3 tools that are implemented in agile practice: 1. User Stories and Maps, 2. the Product Backlog and 3. the Strategic Roadmap. All tools are industry-relevant and have individual strengths and limits that can be directly experienced in this workshop. 

Rather than providing general training for individuals and teams in the agile way of working, this workshop focuses on the professional application of tools in the agile planning phase of a project.  

Goals

  • The translation of a complex product idea into implementation is simulated in this workshop.  
  • Participants develop plans for the agile implementation of a given product idea.   
  • Participants can discuss their own projects with the coaches and the other participants, and thus benefit from their experience.
