Scrum Day Madison<\/a> is a month away! Even though Madison is a smaller town, this conference draws speakers from all over the world and it’s in my backyard. I had a blast attending last year, showcasing my book<\/a> and appearing in one of the conference’s many panel discussions. This year, I’ll be back to talk about self-selection and so will a lot of other great speakers. If you’re in the area, you should join me! I’ve got a discount code at the bottom of this article that gives you 25% off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Scrum Day Madison?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scrum Day is a one-day agile software development conference that takes place in Madison, WI at the Alliant Energy Center. It was started last year by Mary Iqbal<\/a>, Scrum Trainer & CEO, of a company that might have the best name ever: Rebel Scrum<\/a>. I expected the conference to be small and local, but I was pleasantly surprised by the caliber of the speakers. I met Gunther Verheyan, author of the book Scrum: A Pocket Guide<\/a><\/em> and really enjoyed a talk by David Pereira<\/a> who came all the way from Germany to talk about Bullshit Management vs Product Management. It was a hilarious talk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of great entertainment, we also got to hear Chad Beier of WI Agility<\/a> perform several of his scrum-themed parodies<\/a> between sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deliver Products with Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year, the theme is “deliver products with value”, so most of the talks will have something to do with product delivery. There’s a brand new speaker line-up for this year, which includes some more big names. One of the most memorable talks I’ve ever seen was by Troy Magennis<\/a>, who mathematically proved that for every dependency a team has, it increases the chances that they deliver late by 50%. It was an amazing talk. He’ll be here talking about Agile Forecasting & Data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come Learn About Self-Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I feel that you can’t deliver great, valuable products without great teams. That’s why I’ll be there<\/a> talking about self-selection<\/a>. If you have not yet heard me talk at length about how transformational self-selection can be, boy are you in for a treat. Definitely stop by my talk if you can. It might change the way you think about forming teams forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
