keyboard_arrow_downSuzanne Nottage - GO WITH THE FLOW: your Scrum teams are interrupted 2,000 times per sprint. Let's talk about flow
40 Mins
Hands on Session
Intermediate
Scrum is a great framework but there are many ways to do it poorly. For example, the average IT worker is interrupted every 15 minutes, which equates to 2000+ interruptions for a Scrum team every sprint. This severely impacts 'flow', team productivity and often reduces happiness and increases stress. It's unthinkable on a production line, yet too often the norm in offices.
I conducted original research with Scrum teams in Australia as part of my Master of Management thesis (and achieved an A), to understand the causes, patterns and impacts of these interruptions on the team's effectiveness and their happiness. And, how mature teams control interruptions rather than let themselves be controlled by interruptions.
Attendees will play a short game to demonstrate how destructive the context switching from handling frequent interruptions is.
My talks are always highly practical and I provide 3 takeaway actions for teams to improve their 'flow' and reduce interruptions.
I delivered this talk at LAST Melbourne in 2018 and based on strong attendance, would like to deliver it in Sydney this year.

20 Mins
TED talk
Intermediate
Find Your Edge with a fun quiz
You hear lots of big words at conferences but can you use them in a sentence?
"Are you taking Holacracy and the Dark Arts this term, Hermione?
"We need to talk about CYNEFIN"
"Does your partner like the Monte Carlo method?"
This light-hearted talk tests your knowledge of tricky vocabulary words and concepts.
Lean and Agile come with their own languages. Learn these words quickly. Once politicians start using them it's too late to impress anybody.

Find Your Edge
Welcome! We are super excited to hear from you.
- The theme this year is Find Your Edge. We want you to talk about what is currently challenging you or the thing that gives you an advantage in your field. What is the theory, practice or concept that you are struggling with but that also excites you. It's not just about answers, it's about questions.
- Pitch us your ideas! Talks, hands-on sessions, workshops. This year we have also added 5 min lighting talks and 20 min TED style talks. There are lots of options, just make sure you let us know what kind of room layout would work best and any special requirements you have.
- Be as detailed as possible in your submission, as this will help you to refine your idea in your own mind, help the content curation team select your session, and enable people who are coming to LAST Sydney to decide that they want to come and participate in your session/s.
- Don't forget, you can edit your session and adjust the idea in the coming weeks, so don't think that you've only got one chance. You can also submit multiple ideas and proposals.
- The LAST Sydney committee is here to help. If you would like to have some coaching or shaping of your idea just let us know.
- LAST Sydney looks forward to finding your edge with you!
Out of town submitters
As we are focused on the local community, we don’t expect people to travel from interstate or overseas to participate, although you are welcome if you choose to come. LAST Sydney is an event with low registration prices, so we need to keep overheads low. Therefore, we generally do not reimburse travel and accommodation or pay a fee to session leaders/speakers.
Registration
Paid registration for LAST Sydney opens on Monday 6th May. As we always sell out, and as successful submitters won't be notified until early July, it could be wise of you to grab a registration. If you are accepted onto the schedule, you can request a refund.
Who needs a nudge?
We would love to know who else you know who has a great idea but needs a nudge. LAST welcomes first time and experienced speakers. Let us know, and we'd be happy to reach out.
We look forward to hearing from you!
