inRes 2015 :: Scraim inRes 2015 Team Led Workshop at Project Olympus
 |
 |
The inRes 2015 teams have been in Pittsburgh since September 21, 2015 and in this short time, they have been busy creating innovative opportunities and establishing valuable contacts for their projects. A good example was the workshop on agile project management held at Project Olympus, last September 30, which was taught by the Scraim team. |
During the workshop, the Scraim co-founders Pedro Castro Henriques and César Duarte, used the online service of integrated projects based on adaptive processes, which allows to standardize best practices across the organization, for the practical exercises. “The main goal of this workshop was to validate the Scraim tool in real-time with American companies,” said Pedro Castro Henriques adding that “this allowed us to get some feedback from international users that were able to implement agile management with Scraim on real-world assignments.”
The 25 participants included managers from companies incubated at Project Olympus (current and former), founders, CEOs and programmers from the Pittsburgh region. The feedback on the Scraim tool was very positive, as it was told by one of the participants: “I really enjoyed the Scraim system and I believe it will be a very powerful tool to use as we progress, to manage our projects and processes to make us more efficient.”
Scraim is a complete and easy Multiplatform SaaS, based on the most advanced methodologies, which is being developed in the scope of Strongstep, a Portuguese startup specialized in software engineering.
