I´m giving a talk about “The Road to Agility” at the Agile Eastern Europe 2016 conference, the annual, largest and most well-known Agile conference in Eastern Europe.

Adopting agile often doesn’t go as smoothly as expected in an organization. The road to agility can be hard to travel: You can’t plan your journey up front and there will be surprises along the way. Becoming agile is a learning process which requires that you reflect regularly and adopt your way of working, finding better ways to travel.

Ben Linders will explore what teams, agile coaches, Scrum masters, and managers can do to be prepared for a journey to agility, what to pack and how to decide which road to follow along the way. This talk will help you to successfully deploy ideas and practices that you’ve learned at the conference.

In collaborating with the Agile Eastern Europe conference and Scrumguides I’m also giving two workshops in Kiev: Valuable Agile Retrospectives for Teams on April 11 and Increasing Organizational Agility with Retrospectives on April 12. Where the first workshop aims to help agile teams to find ways to learn and improve continuously, the second workshop supports to scale this capability to projects and to the whole organization to increase agility. There’s a discount if you attend both workshops.
