50 Mins
Workshop
Intermediate
Agility is, at its core, a humanist approach. The manifesto's first value highlights the primacy of "individuals and interactions"."Individuals and interactions" are, however, frequently where people struggle the most: Outsiders misconstrue what agility is, while insiders frequently have difficulty with working in such proximity with their colleagues, especially when they behave in surprising and strange ways.In this workshop, we explore stories of difference and integration, of how cognitive diversity contributes to innovation and problem solving, and of how teams can achieve excellent outcomes because of, rather than despite, their differences. -

Agile Personality
25 Mins
Talk
Advanced
Agile development depends on people but what do people bring to Agile?
At some point, most people have had their personality ‘analysed’, from the Myers-Briggs to the more ‘scientific’ Five-Factor Model, or the eccentric questionnaires on the web. Most of these tests claim to describe what people think, but new research shows it is more important to assess what they do. In this workshop, we’ll look at personality from an Agile perspective: what are the personality traits that make someone more productive and better to work with, and what is the best way to assess their personality

Micro-Decisions about Agile Processes
50 Mins
Workshop
Intermediate
Developers face many choices about how best to manage projects, and there has been much debate when best to use Agile or Waterfall etc. Yet these macro-level arguments hide the day-to-day decisions about which micro-processes teams and leaders should use. When is a Standup Meeting better and when should people use Nominal Group process? Why use Story-Boarding or Process Mapping? This workshop will help participants create their own framework for selecting the right process at the right time for the right task.
