Programme streams

As Australians, we’re known for our love affair with swimming, the glorious combination of water and the great outdoors. What better way to kick off Australia’s first Scrum-focused conference than to have our programme streams themed around swimming. Whether you’re looking just dip your toe in the water or dive in head first, we invite you to come swim with us at Scrum Australia 2013.

 

Stream 1 – Swimming in the pool

If you are learning how to swim or wish to improve your swimming technique, the pool is the place to be. Similarly, the Scrum Australia ‘pool swim’ will have a focus on specific Scrum practices and enablers with speakers presenting various techniques to help you get started or improve your Scrum game.

Stream 2 – Between the flags

Open space

In self-organising spirit of Scrum, our conference will have an Open Space event! An Open Space event is focused on discussion and conversation about the topics that people feel most passionate about. Open Spaces have been successfully conducted at many Scrum Alliance Global Gatherings from Atlanta to Barcelona with many participants relishing the flexible structure and opportunity to exchange ideas.

We are lucky to have in attendance some of the most experienced and accomplished Scrum trainers and coaches in the world who are going to put on their Scrum doctor hats to help you with any of your specific Scrum related problems or questions. Simply make an appointment at the Scrum clinic and one of our doctors will cure what ails you. Worth the admission price alone!
