Quick Introduction of self and topic

Connection (C1) –

<5-10 minutes>

Ask audience to introduce themselves to their table mates, then pair up and share an experience or a challenge relating to a new Scrum team or maybe they have been on a team that has struggled with Scrum and wanted to transition to Kanban, because it's "easier".

Lecture / Concept (C2) portion –

<20-25 minutes – intertwined with Exercise>

Share some real-world examples of starting up new Scrum teams and/or how some groups/orgs struggle with changes that Scrum brings.

– i.e. Client 'X' who’s management spent several weeks thrashing over the Scrum Master and Product Owner Roles, among other things, causing anxiety and distractions with the teams, who simply wanted to get things done; Or Client ‘Y’, where there were a handful of teams that jumped into Scrum because their management mandated it, so the team never took ownership of their work or process.

Talk about resistance to change. – even though the level of change is relatively low (new roles, new ceremonies, etc.) with Scrum, it can still be overwhelming for some teams in certain environments.

Introduce STATIK model and walk through each element (high-level)

Share experiences I’ve had running multiple STATIK workshops for teams.

Talk about how to incorporate into team working agreements and norms.

Before going into Exercise, ask for a few people to share what they discussed in the opening connection exercise.

Concrete Practice (C3) Core Exercise –

<40-45 minutes – 5-7 minutes per step, plus review time>

The point of the exercise is to walk participants through the steps of STATIK and have them share examples from their teams relating to each step. Will tell them not to over-think these, just jot down the most obvious ideas based on their current or most recent team. May make judgement calls to entertain a deeper-dive on any given topic or step based on the questions and my reading of the room.

Provide STATIK handout.

Exercise best preformed on a flip chart, so all table participants can effectively interact and contribute.

Ask them to create a flipchart with the STATIK steps

I will explain each Step, then have the group brainstorm, write post-its and share with the table mates.

Give them 5-7 minutes per step

Wrap-up the exercise with table “Shout-Out” – Ask each table to pick 1 insight or open question and share it with the group. 5-7 minutes (maybe longer depending on number of tables/groups.

Close/Conclusion (C4) –

<5-10 minutes>

Encourage everyone to ID 1 key element of the STATIK model that they think may be missing with their Scrum team(s) that they could take back to the team and discuss and address. Have them share that with one of their table mates.

Allow for Q&A to close out the session.
