Join my Workshop Getting More out of Agile and Lean in London Oct 17-18 to learn how to effectively apply agile practices for teams and their stakeholders
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.
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.
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.
The Four L's is a classic exercise that you can use in your agile retrospectives. It helps your teams to look for things they Liked, Learned, Lacked, and Longed For in their iteration, and to take actions based on their shared insight on how they are performing as a team.
Here are some recently published books that I highly recommend on Digital Quality, Team Engagement, and Sense & Respond.
The book AgendaShift explores how to apply lean and agile principles for lasting change in organizations. Mike Burrows defined Agendashift which is an inclusive, non-prescriptive, values-based, and outcome-centric approach to continuous transformation supported by online, workshop, and coaching tools.
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.
In conjunction with Agile Greece I'm giving in-house workshops in Athens on Getting More out of Agile and Lean in the week when the summit takes place.
