It also contains lists of currently available tools in the different categories.
Agile Anywhere in the 21st Century: Setting up distributed teams to be effectiveAgileDenver
This presentation will focus on the topic of working in a distributed agile team. We’ll go over terminology (remote vs near shore vs offshore vs distributed vs satellite etc) and I will share three different examples of distributed teams I’ve worked on and how we managed to be agile with our practices around pairing, knowledge sharing, and minimizing upfront design.
We will discuss why the notion of distributed teams is becoming more and more relevant for modern organizations, what advantages and drawbacks exist, and what leadership needs to carefully evaluate when asking if distributed is right for their teams.
How to Host a Successful Agile Stand-up Meeting.Rod Sherwin
The stand-up meeting is considered an important agile practice but why is it so important and how to you get started with this unusual meeting format? When you watch experienced teams run a stand-up, it seems so easy but what are the secret ingredients to hosting a great stand-up meeting? How do you move from the usual 1-hour snore fest status meeting to a short, sharp, engaged, active and valuable ritual? I use the Host Leadership metaphor to help to think about all the aspects needed to run a successful standup meeting.
it was used as a basis for a panel discussion on one of our Polar Talks recently.
abstract:
It's been 15 years since the Agile Manifesto was signed and several methodologies were raised ever since. There is almost no developer nowdays that haven't adopted at least one of the Agile principles and uses them in everyday work or even private life. Some has even done improvised versions which work according their needs.
The question that's been around these past years is if the Agile is old enough to become past and what's the next big thing, is it a time to call it Post-Agile period and what that means. What has or needs to change in order to abandon the old and become the Post Agile follower.
Lots of teams already claim themselves as Post-Agile pioneers and some new ideas of methodologies have been introduced. I'll try to bring an overview of some of them and bring you some thoughts that might help answering the above questions.
How to Run Effective Online Meetings (While Working from Home)Filestage
Working remotely completely changes the way teams need to conduct meetings.

Cero a Cien with Disributed Agile TeamsBrian Estep
Matt Phillips is a Sr. Project Manager and Agile Coach at Appia in Durham, NC. Appia is also a customer of Velocity Partners.
I happen to live in Matt’s area and attended a meeting at the local Agile Leadership Network group where Matt gave a presentation entitled: Cero a Cien: Building successful distributed agile teams. (Zero to Sixty)
The basis of the presentation was Matt’s significant experience with distributed, outsourced teams. But the most important influence, was his recent experiences from his Velocity Partners engagement. At the risk of sounding self-serving, Matt and Appia feel that they “found the recipe” for success while engaging us for near shore outsourced agile teams.
Much of his advice was general in nature. But it surrounded the principles and strengths that we have established at Velocity Partners. For example, I’ll share two of his discoveries:
1) Don’t lead with cost: while cost is certainly a strong consideration, Appia and Matt led with values. They were looking for a partner, who took software development seriously. Who practiced the agile tactics AND values — even when the going got tough. A partner who valued their people and who were straight shooters. And finally, a partner who hired and developed the very best people.
2) You need to invest in face-to-face collaboration: one of the lessons Matt shared was that, if he had it to do over again, he would have planned and budgeted for MORE trips from one office to the other. And to be clear, Appia was fairly generous in this regard to begin with. He also said that he would have front-loaded much of the travel to accelerate the x-team collaboration, learning curve, and team-building, as it was that important to get things moving and accelerating.
It’s pretty cool to have clients who see both sides of things and who are more focused on goals, principles, and results; rather than simply cost.
Anyway, I highly recommend your reviewing Matt’s presentation. It’s available here via Slideshare. BTW: he did a great job in the presentation.
What Are the Road Mapping Essentials by former Capital One PMProduct School
Product road mapping is an art, one that requires a strong pulse on the state of the business, your customers and stakeholders. Road maps are meant to provide a clear path towards reaching the business objectives giving transparency and predictability to anyone involved on the team. But how often have you heard “Hey, we are agile, we don’t need a roadmap”; or the opposite “Hey, this feature was on the roadmap, but why haven’t you delivered?”.
In this session, Angela Govila, former Product Manager at Capital One, talked about how to handle both of these situations and everything in between, by diving deep into the basics of how to conduct road mapping sessions.

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.
