Agile Technica X Great Giant Pineapple (GGP): Agile Essential Training’s Testimony

On September 7th-10th, 2021, Agile Technica once again provided an Agile Methodology Training to their client. This time, Agile Essential Training was given to one of the brand entities of PT. Gunung Sewu, Great Giant Pineapple (GGP). GGP was established in 1979. It now has become the largest producer of canned pineapples in the world, as well as producing premium quality pineapples and fresh fruit. Currently, the company exports more than 15,000 containers from their plantations to more than 60 countries around the world, as well as having representative offices in the United States, China, Singapore, Canada, Japan, and South Korea. With very extensive plantations, one in four canned pineapples in the world is produced by Great Giant Pineapple.

Through this training, Agile Technica discussed everything related to The Agile Methods, such as:

• What is Agile and Where it Comes From
• Agile Implementation Flavours
• Scrum Mechanism in Detail
• Working in a Scrum Team
• Scrum Activities
• Activity: Retro Time for this Training
• etc.

This training was conducted online with the digital platform Zoom Meeting and attended by about 15 participants. The materials provided during Agile Essential Training were not only discussed in a textual manner, but also with hands-on activities that are related to the real practice of Agile methods, such as Sprint Planning, Retro, and other exciting activities.

All the participants will be divided into several small groups that will be separated in the breakout room. There will be 2 facilitators for each group who are responsible for directing and explaining the purpose of the activity to the team.

Agile Essential Training with GGP is done for 4 days by spending 4 hours every day. Our training activities run smoothly and enthusiastically from participants. At the end of every session on that day, we gave them a fun quiz in the hope that they all pay close attention to the explanation during the training held. And to give them more encouragement, at the end of the training, there are some prizes for the quiz winners and the best question winners from their supervisor.

Agile Essential Training with GGP that we hold not only stops after the training is over, we also provide coaching sessions directly for GGP teams who participated in previous training sessions. The coaching session will run 3 months after the training takes place.

With this Agile Essential Training, Agile Technica hopes to always establish a good relationship with GGP in the future, as well as have a positive impact on the GGP team.
