Course Overview
Alignment is fundamental to the success of any team, product or project. Without alignment, there can be duplication of work, misunderstanding, conflict, lack of trust and ultimately, can result in the waste of time, resource(s), and people. Inceptions (which can also be known as kick-offs, discovery, Sprint Zero, etc.) bring team members, leadership, users and interested parties together in a collaborative workshop at the start to build that alignment and trust before any development begins.
In this session we will explore the main aspects of an Inception Workshop (ie: vision, success metrics, mapping of interested parties, story map, etc) while also diving into some aspects of how to facilitate an Inception workshop for a team. As a large component of Inceptions, this workshop will also give participants a hands-on introduction to story mapping. We will learn how story mapping builds alignment on what to build, what not to build, and on the prioritization of work.
