It would seem that Agile isn’t the foolproof silver bullet that we said it would be! Oh, wait. We never said that. Let me re-phrase this a bit. Ahem. Ok, so not all groups doing agile succeed in delivering software. And not all folks trained in two days of Scrum are magically anointed with wisdom and a Midas touch. The anger against “agile” is palpable in many discussion groups and blogs.
What should we do? Go back to Waterfall? Train people for four days? Well, I think it is time we do a re-set, and (re)educate folks on what agile is all about. If you are dogmatically following along with a handful of agile practices, but don’t really “get” the intentions behind the agile mindset, you may (will?) be disappointed in your results.
I’ve always said “agile is hard to do well” and I’m sticking to it! Let’s re-commit to the core principles and practices. Let’s do Agile like we mean it.

7 habits for sustainable agile transformationSimon Reindl
In this presentation we will explore 7 habits that have helped organisations successfully integrate agile practices and mindsets into their business. These habits are often the difference between a superficial and a sustained adoption.
Following agile is hard but following distributed agile is harder. This workshop will help understand the challenges faced by distributed teams and how to fix them. Lets have some fun and see how an onshore offshore team works together to achieve a common goal.
Making Invisible Choices - Decision Making moulded by our Mental ModelsVishal Prasad
Workshop conducted as a part of Converge Coimbatore 2019. The workshop focused on how our values and principles mould our mental models that can be witnessed in our practices.
In this presentation, I offer my thoughts on the bad, the ugly, and the good aspects of project management best practice frameworks. Delivered to the Brussels Pint of PM meeting on 1 August 2019.
Why I stopped coaching agility and so should you!Vishal Prasad
These slides are from my talk at the Agile India 2020 conference. In here, I present my work with identifying reasons that may hinder agility within organisations on account of certain actions by agile coaches and other hypothesis.
Frug'Agile 2021: Agile as doctrine (and that's a good thing)Jason Yip
What are the fundamental principles by which Agile practitioners should guide their actions in support of objectives, that are authoritative but require judgement in application?
The agile mindset is the #1 thing that has helped me advance as an agile practitioner - but that doesn't mean it's easy to shift to this way of thinking.
Backlog refinement is not a Scrum event, but instead is an ongoing activity during the Sprint required to decompose, describe, estimate, and order backlog items in the Product Backlog.
This material is divided into two sections. The first section reviews the basics of backlog refinement, covering various options for conducting the activity. The second section covers tips for maintaining a healthy backlog and potential anti-patterns.
This material was presented at Agile New England in July and August 2022 as "101" introduction and "202" advanced sessions.

Stop UX Research being a Blocker. How to fit UX research into agile teams.
UX research can’t be rushed but it also can’t be uncapped.
Some research activities will take longer than others, but it’s most important to differentiate between research that provides specific value in the moment vs. research that pays off strategically in the long run.
Foundational research methods will help you decide where you want to go, while directional methods will give you turn by turn directions for how to get there.
Everything I Learned About Agile Coaching, I Learned in Little League BaseballAgileThought
What does teaching a seven-year-old how to hit a baseball have to do with agile coaching? After coaching Little League for eight years, and agile teams for ten years, I thought I was an expert at both. Last year, while attending a New York Yankees coaching clinic, I quickly realized that I had much to learn. Rather than focusing on isolated mechanics, the Yankees believe in coaching towards achieving measurable outcomes. Their approach allows players to learn the “how” at their own pace through self-discovery and experimentation, which allows for deeper learning and longer-lasting results.
The Yankees philosophy can be applied towards coaching agile teams. For example, rather than coaching Scrum teams to only improve their practices, I now help teams to achieve business outcomes. Focusing on outcomes frees teams to experiment with the practices that will help them deliver the results they want. This approach made me a better agile coach. I had less friction with my teams, and they achieved their desired results more quickly.
In this session, I will describe the outcome-driven approach taught by the Yankees, which includes techniques like Inquiry, Imagery, Extremes and Engagement. I will teach baseball fundamentals to a few lucky volunteers, who will hit real baseballs off a “tee" and learn to pitch. And I will demonstrate how to apply these concepts to make your agile teams more effective.
Send in the Reinforcements: How to Overcome the Forgetting CurveAdam Gallotta
With so much competing for our attention, 70 percent of what we learn is forgotten within 24 hours, and 90 percent within a week. So how do we reinforce training once it is done? How do we increase knowledge retention, improve on-the-job performance, and maximize our return on investment?

Project Retrospectives are an important part of any software development process. The Principles Behind the Agile Manifesto state that, "At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly." How can this be done? By taking the time to reflect and learn and proactively determine what should be done differently in the next iteration, release, or project. Linda's presentation will introduce techniques for project retrospectives, whether they are agile or not. The techniques help teams discover what they’re doing well so that successful practices can continue and identify what should be done differently to improve performance. Retrospectives are not finger pointing or blaming sessions, but rather a highly effective process in which teams reflect on the past to become more productive in the future. Linda will share her experiences with leading retrospectives of several kinds for dozens of projects—successful and unsuccessful, small and large, in academia and industry. Her lessons learned can be applied to any project to enable teams and organizations to become learning organizations.
This walks through a set of tools, tips, tricks, and hacks for becoming a 10x engineer, walking through dev environments, the software development lifecycle, communication, focus, and office tips and tricks.
It's meant to accompany a real life presentation, so quite a bit of data is lost with the slides alone. :(

Link to the study
14. Characteristics of Deliberate Practice
● Become pitch perfect
● Start with easy chords, add 1 new chord at
a time
● 4 to 5 short session every day
● Trainer will tell the children whether they
give correct or wrong answers
● Add new chords when all existing chords
are correctly identified
● Has well-defined, specific goals
● Take baby steps to reach longer-term
goals
● Is focused
● Involves feedback
● Requires getting out of one’s comfort zone
15. Deliberate Practice in a Nutshell
Get outside your comfort zone but do it in a focused way, with clear goals, a plan
for reaching those goals, and a way to monitor your progress. Oh, and figure out a
way to maintain your motivation.

Adaptability: Human’s Tendency to Maintain Homeostasis
There is a growing body of evidence that both the structure and the function of the
brain change in response to various sorts of mental training, in much the same
way as your muscles and cardiovascular system respond to physical training.

A mental representation is a mental structure that corresponds to an object, an
idea, a collection of information, or anything else, concrete or abstract, that the
brain is thinking about

Faster progress with deliberate practice than normal practice
Motivation to learn deliberate practice:
Lose less hair
Have more sleep at night
Improve efficiency for more important things in life
Emotional stable, not get demoralized when seeing other people learning very fast
First two abstract
Then concrete examples
When Mozart was only 7 years old, he could already play fluent piano and violin. But he has one skill that surprises all people, which is pitch perfect or absolute pitch.
He can recreate a note without being told what music note he hears
Back in his time, few experienced musician could match what Mozart did.
Hint, only people with music training develops pitch perfect.
The myth was revealed much later by a Japanese psychologies
She designed a year long training to train children to recognize chords and notes.
At the end of one year, all 24 children developed absolute pitch.
While normally only one in ten thousand people developes perfect pitch.

Feedback:
Generally speaking, meaningful positive feedback is one of the crucial factors in maintaining motivation.

The best way to get past any barrier is to come at it from a different direction, which is one reason it is useful to work with a teacher or coach.
Gym example, grow muscles,
Mental exercises, read more books or do more coding,
MRI scanning of masters in fields like music, sports and so on. Parts of the brain of these masters are more developed than normal people
