Here is why Agile practices give great results... Science behind Agile Practices
A logical mind will need a rational and scientific explanation to accept arguments and new thoughts. The best way to explain why a new approach works is to support that with scientific theories and reference scientific studies supported by examples.
During initial transformation phases Agile Consultants and Agile Coaches often face challenges due to resistance from team members and stakeholders with new ways of thinking and working. Another challenge after initial acceptance is that teams follow Agile practices thoughtlessly just because they are told to do so and fail to adapt and evolve. Many practitioners face this challenge during their endeavor to build a self organised Agile team.
This talk is aimed to give logical and scientific reasoning to Agile practices referencing scientific studies and examples. Agile coaches and Scrum Masters/Iteration Managers can use these findings to convince the skeptical minds and help teams to understand why certain practices and useful.
The conference talk findings will be a good starting point for new transformation initiatives to reduce resistance to change or to strengthen the beliefs within an existing Agile team.

30 Mins
Talk
Beginner
All of us teach and preach about feedback in our daily lives as an effective way to learn and grow. I
do my part on feedback too very diligently. But as always I have an uncomfortable tingling anxiety
when I hear ‘feedback’. And so I decided to experiment with this anxiety. This is talk about my
journey with feedback and my 25 experiments in seeking feedback for myself and my work in
various settings like my training sessions , from my team mates (360 degree) and even in my job
interviews. I will share my top 5 experiments ad my learning from it and also the top 5 techniques
that I found useful in receiving feedback. -

This conference is about learning and sharing from our colleagues. Over the years we have come to value the following things;
- Interactive sessions over presentations
- Specific tools and techniques over general frameworks
- Learning from mistakes and failures over sharing sanitised success stories
- Diversity of content over following industry best practices
- Evidence based approaches over novel ideas
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
