Exepedia is a Scrum coaching model that was innovated during the Agile Coaches Retreat in India during Feb'17.

In organisational Agile transformations, one of the biggest reasons for failure is lack of alignment by various departments and their leaders. In many cases, engineering teams are Agile while leaders are still catching up.

This models enables managers and executive leadership team to co-create a shared transformation vision; and a collaborative plan for organisational alignment. Scrum Masters and Coaches can leverage this model to coach executives, senior leaders and managers. The model consists of a set of workshops - a mix of collaborative group workshops, one-one discussions, questionnaires etc.

It perceives organisational transformation in three stages - Know, Believe and Achieve - and conceptualises the various activities during the three stages.

The proposed session helps you experience Exepedia, in a workshop style. This model is being leveraged by organisations (both large and small sizes) during their Agile transformation journey.

We are delivering products, but are we delivering with required "productivity"? – This is the question, each of us need to retrospect. In the current era, agility is becoming buzzword. We witness scenarios, where people are implementing agile just because they are asked to do. We witness prescriptive agile events, where team members do not engage to the required level during agile events. If this trend continues on the ground, the result is "unproductive agile events" wasting team's productive time. If we do not correct this pattern in time, agile leads to fragile on the ground.

Stemming from my practical insights on ground zero, I wish to share with you, the top 5 scenarios where sprint planning event can turn unproductive. For each of the 5 scenarios, I will explain

1. Scenario Context
2. How it went unproductive
3. Practical problem solving

This way, audience can take preventive steps so that the stated scenarios (from practical insights) will not recur in their sprint planning events. It helps them to retrospect what is going wrong in their sprint planning event and take steps to conduct sprint planning events through excellent team engagement. This way, they can contribute to “productive” sprint planning event.

The very thought that “How something can go wrong” can also trigger further thoughts to make other agile events productive.
