Follow the Sun as we Retrospect Around the World. Our vision is to promote continuous improvement throughout the world by encouraging the adoption of retrospectives, by increasing the utility of retrospectives for people, teams, and organizations, and by sharing new ideas and insights with each other.
I have been interviewed by Noopur Pathak for Innovation Roots about how I collaborated with my customer on my first project, doing agile when the Agile Manifesto wasn't invented yet, and later got more inspired by agile.
Several talks and workshops that I'm giving in the autumn have been announced: I'm doing sessions about Agile Retrospectives, Agile Self-assessments, and Dealing with Impediments at the Agile Greece Summit, Agile Cambridge, Lean Agile Scotland, Agile Day Bosnia, and Lean Kanban France.
I will give a mini-workshop Dealing Effectively with Impediments at Bosnia Agile Day: one-day event that brings world-wide Agile Evangelists, leading Agile experts, practitioners and innovators together to share their experiences, expertise, enthusiasm and knowledge.
I will be playing the impediment game at Lean Kanban France 2017. Also doing a full day workshop on November 28: Getting More out of Agile and Lean.
I will be playing the Agile Self-assessment Game with teams at Lean Agile Scotland in a 90 minute mini-workshop
Een agile veranderaarpak helpt je om resultaatgericht te verbeteren door intensieve samenwerking. Het manifest voor agile veranderen helpt organisaties om hun agility te verhogen: Blijvende verbetering van de resultaten, tevreden klanten, en blije medewerkers. Een voorbeeld uit de praktijk wat laat zien hoe samen werken aan kwaliteit tot betere resultaten heeft geleid.
In the workshop Valuable Agile Retrospectives for Teams in Istanbul on November 24 you will try out different retrospective exercises and learn how to effectively facilitate retrospectives in agile teams.
Here are some recently published books that I highly recommend on Digital Quality, Team Engagement, and Sense & Respond.
De Agile Self-assessment Game is een kaartspel wat teams kunnen gebruiken om hun agility te verhogen. Marijke Vandermaesen speelde het spel met haar team in een retrospective en stuurde mij haar ervaringen die ik graag deel met jullie. Haar conclusie: "de game is een goed format voor een retro voor teams die pas starten en zoeken naar praktijken om op te nemen of meer ervaren teams die goed op elkaar ingespeeld zijn en zoeken naar de laatste puntjes om op de i te zetten".
A new version of the Agile Self-assessment Game has been released. There's an introduction discount of 50% on the game and all expansion packs.
