Presentation: "Scrum@Bang&Olufsen"

Time: Wednesday 16:00 - 17:00

Location: Conference Hall 2

Abstract:

In this presentation we will tell the story of how we introduced Scrum at Bang & Olufsen. We will focus on:

  • The visibility we get using Scrum.
  • The changes it has made for the developers.
  • The challenges it gives the organisation.
  • The positive results we have had from using Scrum in sourcing.

We will use stories from a number of different projects to make our points. The projects include all stages in development, from the first idea to production, and different kinds of project setups, colocated teams, distributed teams, and sourcing teams.

 Chris  Thomasen

As a ScrumMaster/Product Owner Chris Thomasen has been working with Scrum for the past 2 years. His work has been focused on introducing Scrum in software teams in Bang & Olufsen and at a software development partner. The focus has been on implementing a process that makes the every day life of the developers more fun, and thereby increasing productivity.

Chris is the Technology & Platform Manager for SW Services in Bang & Olufsen, and uses Scrum to ensure progress in the process of going from the first idea, to a proof-of-concept and on to finished products with the help of development partners.

Prior to focusing on Scrum Chris has been working as a system architect and software developer on air traffic control systems and on new Bang & Olufsen concepts.
