Change (verb) To make or become different
So we had this project……
It was big, expensive, 18 months in and was heading for disaster. It wasn’t the first time this had happened. Usually we would have just continued to deliver it and taken a good, hard look at ourselves afterwards to see what went wrong.
But this time was different. This time we stopped. This time we got it right and started a revolution.
Monash University is in the midst of an Agile transformation across the IT division and the wider business areas. When you consider the diversity of the organisation and the scale of change, you can understand the enormity of the task.
We are nearly 2 years into the journey and I am going to share some of things that have served us well in our complex environment.
Outline/Structure of the Talk
Intro into our situation and the drivers for change
What worked and why

Where to next
Learning Outcome
You will walk away with some handy hints about what works in complex environments with extremely diverse stakeholders.
Target Audience

Many teams suffer through retrospectives that have lost their spark, if there ever was one. Droning through the same process, iteration after iteration, the magic is gone. Or they may have given up on retrospectives all together. It doesn't need to be this way!
I've facilitated over 200 retrospectives with a variety of team types, maturities, and process philosophies. I've experimented with different techniques to derive value, from uber complicated to mind-numbingly simplistic. All this experimentation and practice has helped me better understand the real value of a good retrospective and how to have a better chance of getting it.
Using a basic Retrospective flow/structure, I will walk through my thoughts on planning and executing retrospectives, and share techniques and examples for different team types and maturity levels along the way. Warning: some minimal audience participation may be required!
My hope is that the audience will walk away with some immediately executable experiments, and new thought patterns for facilitating fun and effective retrospectives.

You are a scrum master or an agile coach that has been working with software development teams for some time; suddenly someone else from a different department (marketing, HR, sales...) asks you if you can help them also to "do" this agile thing...
In this talk, you will learn our successful approach to coaching non-software development agile teams; the tools we use, our approach and a step-by-step guide you can follow when you go back to work the next day.
