"The need for organizational improvement is constant. How do you know what better looks like and how to get there? How do you launch and track experiments? Know when to persevere or pivot? In this talk, we'll share our real-world stories for how our teams experimented together to self organize around key product initiatives. We'll share our problems, mistakes, and lessons learned. We hope you'll leave with an understanding of the nuanced problems with continuous improvement, and a framework for running your own experiments. We will give an overview of a standard change framework we used: * Knowing what better might look like * Knowing how to measure and detect if that intervention is working * Knowing where you have leverage to make things better * Knowing how to intervene based on that leverage * Knowing how to support the intervention * Knowing when to amplify or dampen your efforts "

Money Manifestation Affirmations Money manifestation affirmations are positive statements or affirmations that focus on attracting abundance and prosperity into one's life. These affirmations are often used as a tool in the process of manifestation, which is the belief that thoughts and intentions can influence reality and bring about desired outcomes. The concept of manifestation is often linked to the Law of Attraction, which is the belief that like attracts like and that our thoughts and emotions have the power to attract or repel experiences and outcomes in our lives. The idea is that by focusing on positive thoughts and feelings, we can manifest our desires into reality. Money manifestation affirmations can be a powerful tool in this process, as they help to focus the mind and cultivate positive energy around the goal of attracting financial abundance. In this article, we will explore the power of affirmations in manifestation, provide examples of money manifestation affirmations, and offer tips for using them effectively. We will also discuss the importance of taking action in manifestation, as affirmations are only one piece of the puzzle. Whether you are seeking to improve your financial situation or simply want to cultivate a mindset of abundance, incorporating money manifestation affirmations into your daily practice can be a helpful and effective way to manifest your financial goals. So, let's dive in and learn more about this powerful manifestation tool. The science behind affirmations and manifestation • How affirmations work to reprogram the subconscious mind Affirmations work by repeating positive statements or affirmations to oneself, with the intention of reprogramming the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is a powerful force that drives much of our behavior and decision-making, and it can be influenced by the thoughts and beliefs that we repeatedly expose it to. By consistently repeating affirmations, we can begin to overwrite negative or limiting beliefs with more positive and empowering ones. • The role of emotions and belief in the manifestation process In addition to the power of repetition, the emotions and belief behind the affirmations are also important in the manifestation process. When we repeat affirmations with genuine feeling and belief, they become even more powerful. This is because our thoughts and emotions create a vibration or frequency that attracts experiences and outcomes that match that vibration. By focusing on positive affirmations with strong emotions and belief, we can attract positive experiences and outcomes into our lives. • The neuroscience of manifestation and the power of the brain to shape reality Recent studies in neuroscience have shown that the brain has the ability to shape reality and influence our experiences. This concept, known as neuroplasticity, demonstrates that our thoughts and beliefs can physically change the structure and function of the brain.

When building your Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) examples, do you first dive into detailing all the given-when-then narratives? Chances are good that you're doing more speculative work than you should. Let's learn how to shape our BDD features using a just-in-time (JIT) mentality. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn about when and how to negotiate stories around BDD scenario names. You'll discover how this focus can help you: * learn how to break down larger stories * determine the scope to be delivered * transition the conversation (story) into a dependable artifact.

Andrew McKnight "Outside of the 13-week grueling boot camp that every Marine goes through, what do the Marines do to have the title of the ""World's 911 Response Force?"" It isn't because they come out of the Marine Corps boot camp being able to run 3-miles with ease, are hand-to-hand combat proficient, or can shoot a human-sized target from 500 yards with deadly accuracy. It's because the most basic team in the Marines is a 4-person, cross-functional team that is empowered to train, learn and grow together; are technically and tactically proficient, and operate in a decentralized decision-making model the ensures those with the most current and relevant information are the ones making the decisions. Join me in exploring how the Marine Corps uses this small unit to excel on the battlefield, and how you can use these approaches to build high performing teams in your organization."

"You can see your whole agile transition program starting to lose its grip. Culture and mind-sets have not changed (or not changed enough). You're going to fall! This lecture will shed light on the true and dire nature of your situation, and provide you with a thin lifeline and carabiner of hope. Most Agile adoptions focus on the implementation of a framework (Scrum, XP, SAFe, LeSS, etc) and the use of practices and techniques as an attempt to ""fake it 'til you make it,"" which should spur on the growth mindset. Companies and coaches believe you can change the culture and change the mindsets and the benefits of a truly agile organization will then follow. This is all a lovely self-deception. Humans are emotional creatures, and even the most logical Spock-like among us are still driven by the chemicals and irrational survival thought processes in our brains. This talk covers several examples of irrational failures, followed by examples of irrational successes, where the use of the art of persuasion was applied. In this new age where facts no longer matter, fake news fools people, and Stephen Colbert's 'truthiness' is in the dictionary, it's time to lay down the cumulative flow diagrams and focus on the actual methods that will affect change. (But yeah, the reality is most of you are going down -- not everyone has what it takes to summit Everest.) "

"Are you in a position where it feels like there's no trust between you and your stakeholders? Or are you worried that you might be heading into that position? I've been there, and I'm here to help. In February 2016, I moved from Developer to Manager of a team who were in their fifth year of a two-year project. To make matters worse, they had another deployment of an equally complex product that needed to happen nearly immediately due to competitive pressures (spoiler alert: we did not hit the deadline the customer wanted). In this talk, I'll cover tips and tricks to build transparency, and with that transparency, build trust as well as about how to overcome a legacy of distrust and build stronger relationships. Additionally, I will talk about what has and hasn't worked and how we've dealt with and overcome additional setbacks."

Among the traits that distinguish a good team from a great team is their ability to innovate. Despite the rhetoric in favor of innovation, most organizations are stuck in an implementation mindset, stifling creativity, excellence, and the resultant innovation. The experimentation mindset frees us from self-imposed constraints, allowing us to continually learn and improve. In this session, we’ll talk about how we learn as individuals and how we learn as organizations. We’ll take a look at some examples of the experimentation mindset happening in the agile community today and we’ll talk about how you can foster such a mindset in your own organization.

"As a Lean-Agile leader, you can turn your leadership team into a high-performing Lean-Agile leadership team. This highly interactive mashup workshop explores what happens when team members take personal responsibility, come from a place of vulnerability, and therefore authentically facilitate real collaboration to produce great results. Christopher Avery's responsibility process describes the phases we go through on our way to taking real responsibility. Patrick Lencioni describes the five dysfunctions of team, and by extension the five behaviors of a high-functioning, collaborative team. Jean Tabaka taught us how to facilitate collaboration by creating safety in a room and on a team and by ensuring that all voices are heard. In this highly interactive workshop, we will explore together what happens we are a stuck in something less than a place of responsibility, and what impact that has on our ability to collaborate effectively on a team. Then we will explore how working our way to a place of responsibility also helps us create and contribute to a healthy team, and how to facilitate a team that can collaborate to create great things. Attendees will walk away with a process you can run with your team to help you and your team reach performance and responsibility."

"Your teams seem to be working ok -- they attend meetings, stories move across the board, most work gets done, eventually. But when a problem comes up, they point fingers or scatter like ants in a rainstorm. Why aren't they proactive? Why don't they have a sense of ownership? Why don't they collaborate and participate in decision-making? You told them they were self-organizing!!! ""Self-organization"" is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Agile. Research shows that most high-performing teams are self-organizing. Why, then, are high-performing teams so rare? This talk will help participants accomplish the following learning objectives: * Be able to distinguish between the four types of team (manager-led, self-managing, self-organizing, self-governing). * Identify what kind of team(s) they are working with. * Understand the types of authority teams need to have to be self-organizing. * Understand the types of support needed from managers, scrum masters, and others. * Identify behaviors they can model / exhibit to help their teams become more self-organizing. This is primarily a lecture format, interspersed with table or paired discussions. "

Validated Learning is the core of the Lean Startup philosophy and it tells us to run low-cost experiments to validate our product ideas. The Experiment Canvas is a one-page simple tool that guides you through the process from articulating the problem (the market opportunity), identifying risks & uncertainties, and selecting the most appropriate experiments to address the biggest risks. Participants will learn about a variety of techniques for running low-cost product experiments to measure gauge the market and ultimately to build the Right Thing.

The worlds of software and marketing are converging, but that doesn't mean the two groups look the same when practicing Agile. Scrum, while still the dominant choice for developers, often fails to translate in a marketing environment. But by incorporating more flow-based practices from the Kanban world, marketers can take Agile and make it their own. This session draws on new research from hundreds of marketers, as well as on-the-ground experience from an Agile marketing coach. If you're struggling with Agile outside of IT, you may need to start going with the flow.

"The very first question a customer asks us when we start work is - When will it be done? Traditional methods of answering this question are fraught with errors. The most common errors include heavy reliance on estimates and use of averages to give one deterministic answer. We are all aware that our world is not deterministic and each prediction has a probability of being right and a complimentary probability of being wrong. In this session, we will use examples and a simple exercise to demonstrate a much easier method which can help make probabilistic predictions. These predictions can help teams have more informed conversations with their customers about their probability of completing a project on time and around the risk profiles of their projects. The audience will learn how with very little estimation and simple measurements they can better inform and equip teams, managers and customers with information about possible completion dates of the project. We will show how these techniques are actively being used to predict the completion of single items and a set of multiple items in the real world. "

Often we know what we need to change in our behaviors; however, for some reason we either don’t, won’t or can’t sustain the change. This session teaches a method, Immunity to Change, that can help get to the root of the resistance to those changes. This session introduces a method for discovering why we often know exactly what to do differently, but for whatever reason fail to do so. This is the face of really knowing, believing and wanting to change! In the session we explore the theoretical underpinnings of the Immunity to Change (ITC) method. And throughout the session each participant has the opportunity to build their own ITC map and perhaps discover meaning for a personal change in their lives.

"Social networks can make a huge impact on business success. Agile transformations can create threats and resistance even with the best intentions when we do not consider how each message is received. In this talk, we will consider how using the SCARF model (status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness) can guide leaders in their message and create more safety and high performance in the workplace. Agile has claimed high performing teams is critical and we have debates over how to measure high performance but we need to turn our focus from numbers to the social aspects of the workplace? Everyone experiences change in different ways but there are instinctual responses that should be understood and considered so that we create an inviting and positive reaction to the changes we are asking people to make. By understanding how the brain responds to events, you can more effectively remove common barriers managers and their teams face each day. We will talk through how social qualities impact relationships and decisions, how the brain works and how you can relate these to our core agile principles and experience more successful transformations."

In this highly interactive and hands-on workshop, we will share our favorite activities for retrospectives and explore their best purposes. We will engage in exercises that focus on *activities* for any part of the retro: from setting the stage to gathering data to deciding what to do. We'll look at specific, common team scenarios: brand new team, disaffected/underperforming team member(s), distributed teams, technical challenges, etc. and discover how to find the right activity for the right team issue. Attendees will leave with a workbook of ideas (some provided by me, most crowdsourced by the group) and renewed enthusiasm for their team's retrospectives.

"Starting out as a new agile coach is difficult. Where do you go? How do you start? Learn to leverage a coaching approach that focuses on observations and, from them, insights and goals. Through this, coaches will be able to better target their efforts and create demonstrable improvement in teams. In this workshop, we provide scenarios drawn from real-life experience with teams and organizations. After an introduction to good observation techniques, groups will be asked to collect observations from various scenarios. Groups will then collaborate with others and draw insights from common behaviors and trends. From this, we will leverage the Coaching Card technique to plan possible coaching paths forward and identify ways that progress could be validated and demonstrated in practice. Attendees will leave this session with a structured approach to guide their ongoing coaching efforts and share those experiences with others in the organization."
