Join us on Tuesday November 21, 2017 for Agile Boston's 9th Annual Give Thanks For Scrum event.
-----------------------------------------------
THE NEW SCRUM GUIDE ARRIVES ON NOVEMBER 7th !!
-----------------------------------------------
A major dimension of this year's event is the new SCRUM GUIDE released November 07. GIVE THANKS FOR SCRUM is the place where you can receive a copy of the new Scrum Guide and also get your most pressing questions answered by the authors of THE SCRUM GUIDE. Scrum, and the *new* version of the Scrum Guide: born in Boston !!
You may not know that Scrum was born in Boston and thus its very appropriate that this event is rapidly becoming a true Boston tradition! Register now and get Jeff Sutherland and other Scrum experts for the WHOLE DAY, where they will give individual presentations and then join forces to answer your toughest Scrum questions in a special afternoon Q&A panel session.
This is one of the highest-quality and lowest-cost 1-day Agile conferences in Boston and maybe in the entire country, so get your tickets now!
Stay tuned for more updates including who our confirmed speakers are and how you can get a chance to present at this event!
-----------------------------------------------
OUR THEME: SCRUM BEYOND SOFTWARE
-----------------------------------------------
The world of Scrum is constantly progressing and Scrum is now being applied way beyond software. Scrum is beginning to touch every aspect of the business. The term "Business Agility" is now a phrase that is in common use. New frameworks and new forms of Scrum are addressing this reality now, throughout the world.
At this year's Give Thanks for Scrum event, we explore Scrum Beyond Software.
Way back in 2009, the Scrum Alliance arranged a Scrum Gathering in Phoenix with this very theme. But 2009 was not quite ready for Scrum Beyond Software. Times have changed. It is now more than eight years later, and the time has come. Scrum Beyond Software is emerging as a reality worldwide as this year's theme explores this new and dynamic reality.

Joe has certified Agile project managers for non-software projects and spoken at multiple companies whom generated greater than $1 billion IPOs, ivy league universities, state universities, and international not-for-profits.
STACIA HEIMGARTNER on Mike Beedle's ENTERPRISE SCRUM
Stacia is one of the very first Certified Scrum Trainers in the USA, taught by Ken Schwaber himself. Stacia will introduce to ENTERPRISE SCRUM from Agile Manifesto co-author Mike Beedle. ENTERPRISE SCRUM is the new and important Scrum derivative that is designed to facilitate business-agility across all functional departments such as Marketing, Sales, Human Resources and Finance.
DANIEL MEZICK on LEADERSHIP SCRUM:
Coaching executives and teams since 2006, DANIEL MEZICK is an expert on extending adaptive Agile culture beyond software. His books and workshops teach you how.
A frequent speaker at industry conferences, Daniels list of clients include Capital One, INTUIT, CIGNA, SIEMENS Healthcare, Pitney Bowes, Harvard University, and dozens of smaller enterprises.
His first pioneering work on culture was published in 2012. THE CULTURE GAME described 16 specific patterns that extend Agile ideas across the organization, beyond software. THE CULTURE GAME describes a very clear, step-by-step program for doing exactly that.
Daniel will introduce LEADERSHIP SCRUM, an open-source Scrum derivative based on the open-source Scrum Guide from Jeff and Ken. LEADERSHIP SCRUM contains everything C-level teams need to execute and demonstrate leadership work with Scrum. Leadership teams represent not the "final frontier" but rather the very *first* frontier that must be settled with Scrum, if your Agile transformation-- the one you want-- is actually going to happen. You exit this conference with the LEADERSHIP SCRUM Reference Definition and guidance on how to use it to make your Agile Transformation a reality.
