Warning!Agile is all about learning
(and adapting to new learnings),
however the learnings in iterations,
reviews/retrospectives,
inspect&adapt sessions are
NOTour topic today

Example: Agile Reading Group (Kudos to Poul Mejlsted for leading the efforts)
• Before the agile transformation (December 2015 – August 2016)
• Small but very interested and motivated audience (mostly devs and tech writers)
• Meeting every second week, for one hour
• Materials: book excerpts, wiki articles, assessment tests, online resources, short books, white papers

• Example: Team Inside-Out (June 2017 – ongoing)
• Small but very interested audience (members of two scrum teams)
• Once per iteration (every second week), for an hour
• Video conference for cross-located teams, and recording the session for the ones who missed

× Employee Learning
× Opportunity to expand knowledge and impact
× Learn about different parts of the organization
× Employer Learning
× Learn about the employee’s strengths
× Achieve a flexible and knowledgeable (T-Shaped?) work force

× Docendo discimus
• Examples
- Teaching the basics of the programming language we use, to another team, so that they can at least debug
- Teaching testers some IDE and commands that they can do more before creating defects
- Training newcomers, even though they don’t join our team

× Comfort Zone = Zone of slow growth
× Agile Team, try pulling a feature out of your comfort zone

I am Ender
I am invited to talk shortly about my conference talk in Agile Summit Turkey 2018
If you want to learn more about me, I’d prefer talking, but if you are not comfortable with it here is a qr code
And if that doesn’t work, google is your friend
And these are my former and previous teams in the last 2 years, that together we experimented various learning initiatives
So they are the story-owners
Perhaps the most interesting feedback (I dont know the name of the person)
I have attended a previous talk by you a year ago and it was about static program analysis and type checking. How can you give talks in such broad topics
The long version of this talk: https://www.slideshare.net/EnderYkselPhD/20-continuous-learning-initiatives-for-agile-teams
I would like you to browse the whole presentation on the Internet, and let me deliver a custom tailored one for you today.
In order to
adjust my tone,
help you reflect on your own learnings,
never miss an opportunity to collect data
I assume that you would like to hear ”what I told in the conference” over ”what I experienced there”
Based on this assumption, I would like you to browse the whole presentation on the Internet, and let me deliver a custom tailored one for you today.
The long version of this talk that covers all the above: https://www.slideshare.net/EnderYkselPhD/20-continuous-learning-initiatives-for-agile-teams
Book & Coffee Club has many fringe benefits: sometimes the topics that the team showed resistance or just didn’t stick to can be way better explained while reading the book excerpts, also asking their comments about the recommendations in the book (e.g. TDD) would change things a lot.
Elaborate more on book club – it is not a typical one: I read most of the books (things changed when we got new team members who also like to read books), and choose important sections, then scan excerpts and print copies and bring with me, then read all together excerpts and discuss, so it is a big service for people who really have little tie to read, when they like the excerpts they ask to borrow the book
I mention SAFe, because as of October 2018, there is nothing in the similar frameworks about continuous learning. (I checked Scrum@Scale, LeSS, DA, Nexus)
Example: Book & Coffee Club (June 2017 – ongoing)
Small but very interested audience (members of two scrum teams)
No video conference, computers allowed (thus not straightforward for cross-located teams)
Once per iteration (every second week), for half an hour
Materials: Primarily books, sometimes books supported by articles.
It helps a lot to form a library in advance.
Also, helps to have a cosy corner with comfy couches and a decent espresso machine
Prepare excerpts from books.
These are some of the books we covered in our Book & Coffee Club
These are some of the topics we covered in our Team Inside-Outs
Which one is your fav?
Any other spakers/authors/thought leaders you can recommend?
This paper compares job rotation to assignments, and concludes that job rotations are more useful.
