I'm giving two workshops on Agile Retrospectives and Value with Agile and Lean at the Agile Greece Summit 2016. Ticket sales has started, normal price for each workshop is €480. You get a discount if you also attend the Agile Greece Summit on September. All events take place in Athens, the beautiful capital of Greece.
The practices in the workshop Getting More out of Agile and Lean will help you to develop the right products for your business and customers, reduce your delivery time, increase the quality of your software, and create happy high performing teams.
In the workshop Valuable Agile Retrospectives for Teams you will practice exercises for facilitating retrospectives in teams.
Conference season isn't over yet. There are several great agile and software development conferences that I will be attending and covering for InfoQ in the upcoming months before the holidays start.
The Software-Centric Systems Conference facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experiences in the crucial and strategic discipline of complex software development.
I chaired a session about getting into reflection mode at the Retrospective Facilitators Gathering 2016. In this session we discussed what facilitators can do to help people to look back and reflect in an agile / Scrum retrospective meeting or at other occasion where they want to learn from how they are doing.
The XP Days program committee has accepted my workshop "Agile Self-Assessment Game" for the XP Days Benelux 2016 conference. How cool is that!
In this interactive workshop you can practice different exercises from the Retrospective Exercises Toolbox to facilitate retrospectives. You will learn the “what” and “why” of retrospectives, the business value and benefits that they can bring for your team.
