I facilitated this workshop during the 2nd Holtzbrinck Publishing Group's International CTO Conference 2013 in Berlin.
It's about Agile Games and how they revolutionise the way we train Agile Teams.
If you work in Scrum environment or you’re just a team member who is trying to guide a conversation – then these interactive facilitation techniques are for you. In this session focus will be on games which you could use in virtual environment.
Learn benefits of iterative process through a game, so it can be played by the team.
The point of this game is to pass as many balls as possible through every team member in 2 minutes. The team gets a point for each ball passed through every member of the team provided that the first person to touch that ball is also the last. There are 5 iterations. Before each iteration the team estimates how many they think they will pass. At the end of each iteration the actual number passed is recorded.
The presentation includes a brief introduction to iterative methodologies, the game itself and some questions to check what the team learnt.
This is one hour free webinar about Agile principles for software development.
Main purpose for this webinar is to give attendees overview of Agile methodology for software development and provide understanding of main Agile principles.
Being Agile, Doing Agile and Agile in Crisis: We have the Agile Industrial Complex, Dark Agile, Faux/Fake Agile, Zombie Scrum, Flaccid Scrum, CrAgile, FrAgile, WAgile, and more. What do they all mean, and how do we know if we are doing them instead of "Being Agile"

Presented at Scrum Gathering Minneapolis, Senior Agile Coach and Trainer Mike Hall provides leaders and managers 10 steps to a successful enterprise Agile transformation.
This presentation was delivered at our "Eleven Nights" event in Hobart on August 29th.
Eduardo Nofuentes & Martine Sholl shared practical, real-world insights on our eleven steps for high-performing teams.
An Agile mindset believes that diverse teams with complementary skills are best equipped to thrive in today’s business environments.
Many organizations, working with Agile methodologies, talk about changing mindsets. I know from extensive experience that Agile principles and practices by themselves will not lead to this kind of transformation. A real Agile transformation is about not just doing Agile, but being Agile.
‘Follow Agile’ mindset will only help us get into the water but ‘Being Agile’ mindset will help us swim in the current. Most Agile implementations fail and their practitioners cannot tell why. Managers jump onto the Agile bandwagon, and quickly discover that the change runs much deeper and wider than they’d been told. Worse yet, people decide for or against Agile without understanding it properly. It does not have to be this way. This will be an interactive workshop leading toward the Agility.
Introduction to the scrum framework: roles, activities and artifacts.
Scrum is an agile methodology for project management, to create a high quality product.

lease write all your response in a single MS Word document coverin.docxSHIVA101531
lease write all your response in a single MS Word document covering all questions and exercises, and paste (do not attach) the screen shots into the document in-line with your text.� It makes it much easier to read� -- and grade.� Please include screen shots of each step, not just one screen shot before or one after.
D.1. How do we assign a labor RESOURCE (human resource) to a task in MS Project?� Describe AND provide a screen shot of the steps.
D.2. What are labor COSTS in MS project?� How do we assign labor COSTS to a task in MS Project?� Describe AND provide a screen shot of the steps.
D.3. What are non-labor costs in MS Project?� How do we assign non-labor costs to a task in MS Project?� Describe AND provide a screen shot of the steps.
D.4. There are different kinds of non-labor costs, including expendables like supplies, one-time fixed costs, and unit rate costs (e.g., seven widgets at $13.00 each). ��What terms does MS Project use for these?� What is the difference in how to assign these non-labor costs in MS Project?
- D.1 and D.3 Resources and Costs - Student Group A: Last names A - L
- D.2 and D.4 Resources and Costs - Student Group B: Last names M - Z
Note: Please carefully note which exercises you are to do. That was not a typo. The exercises you are to do are not consecutive. Rather, both groups include both labor and non-labor questions/exercises. Group A is to do the odd numbered exercises (D.1 and D.3) and Group B is to do the even numbered exercises (D.2, and D.4).
Important Note:
These are individual homework assignments, not team projects. However, half the class (student Group A) will do exercises D.1 and D.3 and the other half of the class (student Group B) will do exercises D.2 and D.4. Nobody needs to do both exercises. The student groups (A and B) are the same groups as those used for the Week 2 homework and are not related to the student ITP project teams.
Remember the condition, the caveat, the "catch": Everyone must commit to read all the questions, and everyone must commit to read all the answers that I post after grading is complete. Anyone does not commit and follow through with this reading must then answer all the questions.
To reiterate: this MS Project homework assignment is not a team assignment but is an individual homework assignment.

JDD2014: Game of Throneware, or how not to get killed when a developer become...PROIDEA
You are a good developer, each year you learn more, each year you earn more. You become senior, you become architect, chief architect, chief principal officer architect, and, one day, you are at the top-payroll level, and there is no place to go. You are happy with what you do, but your wife/husband/bank keeps asking for more. What do you do? You go to middle management.
What happens, when you become a manager? How do you organize teams, workspace? How do you help people? How do you deal with politics, communication? What has the position of your desk to do with the architecture of your systems? How do you make decisions?

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
