SUMMARY:Workshop Fostering an Agile Culture
DESCRIPTION:An interactive online workshop where you can practice culture change\, learn how to increase team autonomy and morale\, and explore using retrospectives to keep your agile journey going smoothly. Join me on March 8\, 2023\, for the live workshop Fostering an Agile Culture. \nA one-day online workshop for €350 + VAT. \nFostering an Agile Culture\nAdopting agile often doesn’t live up to its promise of delivering better products\, faster\, at lower costs. The missing ingredients that cause failure often have to do with an insufficient agile mindset and difficulties in changing to a culture of agile thinking and acting. An agile culture is a foundation for an agile way of working and a successful agile journey\, it is a key factor that you need to work on. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore how organizations can visualize their culture. We learn how organizations can foster a mindset and culture change toward agility and how they can apply agile practices and capabilities to deliver value frequently and fast. \nNext\, we’ll explore how team autonomy and morale can be increased by playing the Agile Impediment Board Game. Finally\, we’ll see how agile retrospectives can be used to establish continuous improvement with effective communication and collaboration\, to keep your agile journey going in the right direction. \nLearning by Doing\nYou will practice: \n\nVisualize your existing agile culture and see the need and possibilities for culture change\nShare agile strengths and challenges to explore what it takes for an agile culture and mindset\nExperience how gamification can be used to improve the team’s autonomy and morale\nPractice retrospective techniques to reflect and find ways to improve your agile journey\n\nAudience\nThis workshop is intended for: \n\nAgile Teams.\nTechnical (team) leaders and Scrum masters\nAgile and Lean Coaches\nProduct Owners and Project/Line Managers\nStakeholders working with agile teams\nAnybody who is supporting teams in agile transformations\n\nIn this workshop\, we will explore how to create conditions for culture change and use this to increase the agility of organizations. \nPractical information\nFour-hour interactive live online workshop. \nYou can book this workshop by buying a ticket below\, or by contacting me by email at benlinders@gmail.com. \nThere’s no minimum number of attendees\, this workshop will be held even if only one person signs up. Tickets are limited to ensure that all attendees can participate in the exercises and play the games to be fully involved and engaged. \nCancellations are allowed until one week before the workshop is held. If you can’t attend then a colleague can use your ticket to join. \nAttendees of this workshop will get free downloadable copies of the Culture Cards and the Impediment Board Game (value €25). \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 spent; organizations get value for their money!

SUMMARY:Retrospective Facilitators Gathering 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, a group of us who are passionate about retrospective facilitation gather to share observations\, grow our skills and work out things that are puzzling us. It’s a small\, invitation-only gathering\, which provides opportunities for very focused and high-density learning\, not to mention a bit of fun and interaction with our peers. \nThe Retrospective Facilitators Gathering is a yearly Open Space conference by and for experienced practitioners in agile retrospectives. People from all over the world come to this gathering to share experiences and ideas and to learn from other facilitators. \nOver the years I’ve learned a lot at the RFGs that I attended. It’s great to be among peers who share their experiences. The open space format enables relevant topics to pop up\, both for group and one-to-one sessions. \nThis year the Retrospective Facilitators Gathering (RFG) will be near Prague\, Czech Republic. I’m attending it to share my upcoming book Valuable Agile Retrospectives\, learn new exercises and techniques\, and sharpen my facilitator and (retrospective) teaching skills. \n
