Agile Mining at a Large Canadian Oil Sands Company by Mishkin Berteig, Certified Scrum Trainer, Master of OpenAgile

چکیده
In 2007 my father Garry and I ran a public training course on agile project management. One of the participants, Darin Zandee, was a supervisor at a large oil sands mining company. He was excited by what he heard, but he was not yet in a position to try things out. By early 2010 Darin had been promoted but his team was having deep challenges with effectiveness. At that time, he invited us to help and we started a dramatic transformation in Darin's “Mining Projects” department. By the end of 2010, they had become a high performance agile team1. In the process they were able to cut millions of dollars from their yearly budget.
