Are you noticing any resistance to Agile within your organization? Adopting Agile, or Scrum, or SAFe has become the new goal - so why aren't we experiencing all the outcomes that Agile has promised? This session will help you to communicate, clarify your reasons for, and set a laser-focus on the specific outcomes you want to achieve. Once your teams is motivated by outcomes instead of goals, they'll astound you with their creativity and problem solving skills.

Developers are always wanting extra time to refactor their code. But we have deadlines and commitments to make - and really, what is refactoring anyway?This session aims to help non-technical team members to understand refactoring, why it's important, and why you don't have enough time not to refactor. Using Lean 5S, we're going to go through a non-technical example of what refactoring is and the types of things your teams may be doing during refactoring and the language they use.

Maybe it's easy for us to walk into organizations and let them know all the ways that they're not Agile, when perhaps we may be blind to our own personal lack of agility. This session is about my 3-month long experiment to adopt Agile and Lean principles in my own life, and how you can do the same in yours. Whatever the results of your experiment, this has left me with a deeper empathy towards those we lead in change, and has included some added surprise benefits as well.
