Background : 

Many times, Scrum Masters move from one organization to another and they may become part of a Scrum team which is already working on a product. In this case, Scrum Master do not have clarity or visibility of how the team was doing so far,. what is the product vision, what was their impediments, how is their performance etc.

Can the Scrum Master start using the same tools and techniques used in the past, which could have given success in the past, but will it give results in the new environment ?

Without knowing the environment, applying the same approach may not work and may not yield results. This talk will explore this situation of a Scrum master and gives an approach based on the Gemba Walk as a tool on how to progress in the first few weeks towards a long term plan and setting the stage for success as a team. 

In today’s fast changing world, building a successful product is key for an organization. With ever changing requirements, building the most valuable and viable product for customers in a shorter time window is essential. Communication and collaboration of the teams working on the product are of utmost importance to build the right product/features. Drawing inspiration from agile manifesto – individuals and interactions, teams need to focus on continuous flow of information and minimize the time delays in information exchange. However, distributed nature of the workforce impacts the way teams bind together to deliver the right product.

Effectiveness of geographically distributed teams will be impacted by reliability of information exchange across functional roles of the scrum team AND by communication delays due to distribution. In this session, we will understand an approach to measure the globalization effectiveness index of geographically distributed scrum teams and suggest ideas that help to bring the real world distributed scrum teams closer together.

Passive Aggression

Passive aggression is one of the most common patterns of resistance to change. This is observed at the various levels in the organization and becomes a deterrent to the ongoing transformation. The objective of this session is to recognize the patterns early and to deal with the situations to help the transformation process

This workshop is about how to apply the time line technique from Neuro-Linguistic programming (NLP) in Enterprise Agile transformation.

The timeline technique is a tool used in NLP to pre-write your future. It gives an individual all what he need to reach his goal.

This workshop is about learning the timeline concept and also understanding how it can be used in Enterprise Agile transformations.

1. Timeline technique helps the stakeholders to define realistic goals about their transformation.

2. This will also enable them to pre-write the future of the transformation.

Our senses and ability to perceive and process information have made us one of the most successful inhabitants of planet Earth. Human Visual System (HVS) has remarkable ability to absorb the visual information and aid us in making intelligent decisions in fraction of seconds. Information radiation is one of the key aspects in agile way of working. Rather than talking about the purpose, the idea here is to list some of the visual aids and explain how they could be put into use in our everyday worklife to improve the effectiveness and fun levels with agile way of working.
