If you can’t attend then a colleague can use your ticket to join. \nLearning by practicing and experiencing\nDoing it yourself and reflecting is the way people learn new practices and develop skills in my workshops. They work in teams to try out things and experiment with practices to learn how agile can really look and feel. I coach people\, answer questions\, share my experience\, and provide lots of ideas. They learn from me\, and also from each other. \nI use many exercises\, games\, and real-life cases in my workshops. Examples are the retrospectives toolbox\, the Impediment Game\, and the Agile Self-assessment Game. \nMy approach enables attendees to apply the things they learned in their daily work.\nThe workshops are time well spend; organizations get value for their money!
