Tasty Dog Food! A Year Taking My Own Advice
In August 2015, I became a Software Development Manager at You.i TV. In doing so I landed in the role that was quite often the target of the Agile coaching I had been doing for many years. It was time to eat my own dog food!
This talk reviews the ups and downs of the last year, with advice that I took, advice that I threw away, and advice that I modified.
Outline/Structure of the Talk
- Introduction and presentation of what I learned - 20 minutes
- Group discussion about the topics and how they apply to other contexts - 20 minutes
- Review - 5 minutes
Learning Outcome
First and foremost, you'll learn that even Agile Coaches are fallible! The session examines common coaching topics and how the advice I had given others had worked for me when I had to actually apply it. The primary goal is to determine how to take what I learned and apply it in other organizations and business domains.
Target Audience
Agile Coaches, Team Managers, Project Managers
