Colonoscopies and Agility
Yup, you read that correctly - colonoscopies. A hallmark study by experts in the fields of psychology and economics has strangely strong links to the themes that underpin the Agile Manifesto. In this short talk, I present how basic human psychology - the tendency to obfuscate the initial and distill the terminal - aligns perfectly with a world of work that based on iteration.
The Agile Mindset is elusive - and gets a bad reputation for being so. Through evidence based research this talk will allow participants to grasp onto the concept of iteration in an innately 'human' way.

Acceptance test-driven development (ATDD) is the god-father of test-driven development (TDD) and behaviour-driven development (BDD), so why does it get such little attention? For that matter what is it?
This workshop will give you an overview of ATDD and a run-through of an elaboration session centred on testing.
By the end - you'll never do BDD without ATDD again!

Beginner
As we continue our forays into Business Agility, we need to ask ourselves "have we lost our way?" "if we don't pay attention to the values, do we exist in the Agile forest?"
A case study in recognising our Agility vs Agile journey, where we are at and why, what is next?
Interestingly a learning oriented organisation is both a great and terrifying place to be. Whilst we totally get investing to learn, we can also cut ourselves with the bleeding edge, lets go for cutting edge and do it well!
- An Epiphany: Establishing a frame of reference
- Returning to the basics
- Moving forward: Our Agile may not be your Agile, let's embrace diversity
