Wireless HDMI Screen Mirroring in Your Scrum Meetings

While many Scrum and Agile teams still use sticky notes to identify and communicate issues, advancements in wireless HDMI screen mirroring systems can make it easy for scrum masters to keep their meetings productive – and run on time using a projector or flat panel display. Here are some best practices on integrating a wireless presentation system into your scrums.

According to Dzone, the planning meeting is essential for the Product Owner and Scrum Master to develop a realistic Sprint backlog and define the highest priority tasks. A wireless screen mirroring system that enables multiple presenters on the screen can help both presenters share their priorities on the screen at the same time to identify areas of ambiguity.

These meetings are typically time-boxed to keep the meetings running smoothly – and are focused on how everyone is coming along with the development work. Here – a wireless HDMI presentation system that uses buttons is one of the most effective tools to minimize changing presenters quickly. We recommend that there are at least three or more buttons available to the team so that they can plug into their notebook or device –and push the button when it is their turn to share.

While many scrum masters have tried using low-cost consumer solutions such as Chromecast or Apple TV to enable their team members to share information, these can be clumsy to set up with their team and to change presenters. The InstaShow uses a dedicated button using an HDMI or USB-C connector that doesn’t require any software apps –plug it in and start presenting. Also, because the InstaShow encrypts the content, there is no worry about losing your IP via a wireless hacker.

The InstaShow WDC-10 is ideal for team stand up meetings and presentations where only one source is going to be on the screen. It operates just like an HDMI cable – but the buttons enable presenters to instantly switch – rather than having to disconnect and reconnect a cable when changing presenters.

The new InstaShow S enables four different presenters to be on the screen at the same time, which can help plan meetings and sprint reviews. It also can support mobile devices via an app (as well as a button) and has other features such as centralized management and touchback features when used with interactive displays.
