I’ve been invited to join Rebelcon.io in Cork, Ireland on June 20, and cover talks given at this conference for InfoQ.com, and I will play the Agile Retrospective Bingo in a mini-workshop.

From the conference website:

Ireland’s largest Software Engineering conference is back in 2019, on June 19th & 20th at the Clayton Hotel Cork City.

For a third year in a row, RebelCon is bringing together the Cork Software Engineering community over 2 days of workshops and talks on the latest technology, culture and development practices in the software industry.

RebelCon is a not for profit technology conference run by the developer community for the developer community.

RebelCon is hosted by Poppulo with support for the initiative from it@cork Skillnet

Agile Retrospective Bingo

The Agile Retrospectives Bingo is a game to identify and discuss unproductive behavior in retrospective meetings, improve team communication and collaboration, and make agile retrospectives more valuable. It’s a kind of bullshit bingo which is geared towards agile retrospectives.

In this short workshop, we will play the Agile Retrospectives Bingo in teams. Half of the team will do a retrospective using role play, the other half will observe what happens. When an observer sees unproductive behavior, they will put a coin on the bingo card. The first one who has a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, yells bingo and the retrospective stops. Then we’ll reflect and discuss what happened to learn how we can deal with unproductive behavior.
