Agile - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Many people are struggling with Agile Adoption either as internal champions or external coaches. Agile is such a great thing, why doesn't it work everywhere? In this talk, Michael will discuss why Agile is more like a mind-shift than a process and the role culture plays in inhibiting or supporting adoption. As usual, there will be hands-on activities as well as zen-style presentation so buckle in for a talk that will forever change the way you think about Agile and eliminate the blindspot that is limiting your success. (Ya, I know you don't think you have a blindspot - that's why it's called a blindspot). Read more about the topic at Michael's blog: http://www.agilitrix.com/2011/04/agile-culture-series-reading-guide/ Slides are available on request. Please email me.

Agile is about people, and as such they will tend to be largest obstacles, we will need to have serious conversations at some point if we really want to go Agile.
