(Solid)Scrum Training: Scrum Method Adapted for Industry, Hardware R&D and Engineering

Implement Scrum effectively in industrial and hardware project environments

Description

Introduction

(Solid)Scrum is SolidCreativity's proprietary adaptation of the Scrum framework for industrial and hardware R&D environments.

Unlike standard Scrum designed for software development, (Solid)Scrum addresses the specific constraints of industrial projects: physical prototyping cycles, manufacturing lead times, hardware testing requirements, multi-site coordination and regulatory gates.

This training enables you to implement Scrum in your industrial context in a realistic, practical and effective way, adapted to the realities of engineering and R&D project management outside IT.

(Solid)Scrum Training: Scrum Method Adapted for Industry, Hardware R&D and Engineering

Training objective

Reserved for those who have attended our "Agile Management of Innovative Industrial Projects" training, this advanced course focuses on mastering Scrum in an industrial environment, within your specific domain. Because our version of Scrum, called (Solid)Scrum, differs from the Scrum used in IT projects, having attended our initial training is essential.

(Solid)Scrum, the streamlined version of Scrum developed by SolidCreativity for industry and hardware R&D, is perfectly suited to Agile management in industrial settings (e.g. R&D, engineering, manufacturing) but the initial 2-day training does not always allow enough time to fully explore and master it.

Complementing the initial Agile training for hardware teams

Our "Agile Management of Innovative Industrial Projects" training introduces (Solid)Scrum on the second day, because before pushing Post-its, you need to understand Agility, iterative-incremental development in industry (for physical objects in a constrained industrial environment), objective breakdown, risk management during an Agile project... This foundation is essential and the second day can feel short for some, who would like to develop these many new concepts in greater depth.
Often, our initial training is followed by team coaching (which we recommend), enabling further skill development. This advanced training is an alternative to coaching for improving your Agile practices in industrial and R&D hardware projects after the initial course.

Learning objectives

  • Know how to use Scrum in your industrial domain for non-IT physical products13
  • Have clarified and know how to practise the Scrum Master and Product Owner roles in an industrial environment123
  • Refine your mastery of Agile practices, particularly (Solid)Scrum, in your company13
  • Know how to improve the integration of Scrum practices and artefacts in your organisation123
  • Be able to improve the mastery of expected competencies for Agile actors in hardware and R&D teams123
  • Know how to use (Solid)Scrum to work effectively with a remote or hybrid team13
Assessment method: 1 - Assessed by the trainer during exercises and questions. 2 - Validated during the end-of-training quiz and its debrief. 3 - Self-assessed by quiz and available audit.
(Self-)assessments and debriefs contribute to the acquisition and validation of skills.
