W26 – Agile Project Management for Libraries

Thursday, April 10, 2014
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
, Head, Web & Emerging Technologies, University of Miami Libraries

Agile project management has been a hot topic for several years in the programming community, but it was primarily developed for and by the private sector, with large teams of developers and a specific, external client in mind. Libraries, however, generally have much smaller teams, and rather than a single, paying client, a diverse set of users whose needs must be divined. This workshop provides: an overview of the Agile process, with a focus on the Scrum methodology. (Scrum is one of a number of competing flavors of Agile, and its methods are transferable to non-programming projects.), discusses tools, costs, and the time or resource commitments necessary to proceed with a Scrum project, runs through a real example project, and shares how the Scrum methodology might be modified to work better in the library environment.
