Anti-Patterns are like patterns, only more informative. With anti-patterns, you will first see what patterns recur in “bad” retrospectives and then you will see how to avoid, or remedy, the situation. Based on her experience with facilitating retrospectives, join Aino for an entertaining and informative presentation on the challenges she has seen and how to overcome them. This talk will be interesting for everyone facilitating meetings in general, and retrospectives in particular. Her latest book “Retrospective Anti-Patterns” will give you more info that she is able to convey in this talk.

Have you facilitated retrospectives, and found it difficult to engage people, to motivate people, to make people participate, to make people listen to you and to each other? Join Aino in this workshop on retrospective facilitation. She will base the workshop on your challenges and give you activities, tips and pointers on how to get a skill-set that makes  retrospectives useful, and fun. We will touch on subjects such as body language, psychology, team building, decision making, structuring meetings in general, and distributed retrospectives, based on Aino's experience and research.

The workshop style will be attendee-driven, anecdote-filled and (hopefully) fun!

How do Danish companies do agile transformations? Why should people in Australia care what takes place on the other side of the world? This presentation will show examples of the challenges some companies face and how they overcome them, as well as cases where they did not. It can be argued that a complete agile transformation is utopia, but some companies have come a long way in thinking, acting, and making decisions in a more agile way. If you are going through and agile transformation, or considering to do so, this talk is for you.

As an expert you will be asked to facilitate the learning of others, not to mention your personal eternal learning in your field. Join an interactive session about how our brains accept new knowledge and store it for later use. Your take-away will be three-fold; how to chunk information you give to others, how to improve your own learning AND something to entertain with at dull parties.

Based on my experience with facilitating retrospectives, join me for an entertaining and informative presentation on the anti-patterns I have seen and how to overcome the problems. I also encourage the audience to chip-in with their experiences or questions along the way.

Join me for a very short Design Sprint, where we go through the motions meant for 5 days in just 90 minutes, with a commentary from me about my personal experience in facilitating these.

Being agile means to inspect and adapt, the process as well as the products, but you need courage to change and you need data to inspect. How do you achieve the courage to do this, and how do you get the right data?

In my experience with facilitating the agile journey in big as well as small companies, I have seen many attempts fail but I have also seen successes. I will share with you what I have learned needs to be in place to have the courage and possibility to inspect and adapt.

Aino will share her experiences with distributed retrospectives; those that went well as well as those which did not go well. She will describe what worked in those that worked and what did not work in those that did not. You will come away with things to be aware of when preparing a distributed retrospective, how to organise it, how to prepare it and how to facilitate it during the retrospective in a virtual setting. There will be links to different technologies also, but also an opportunity to ask questions and share your own experiences.
