Coal miners productivity and socio technical teams slidesIlan Kirschenbaum
Slide deck from Agile on the Beach 2019 talk with Laurence Wood.
A true story about a unique mining community and what it teaches us about creating a culture of productivity and hyper-productive teams. Together, Laurence and Ilan take a journey from the Yorkshire coal pits to today’s cross-functional, self-organised, highly motivated teams.
Our one-day workshop to help Scrum Masters learn and understand facilitation concepts and techniques and how to apply them to Scrum - and other - events
We all want to get rid of waste but are we doing it wrong? English scriptIlan Kirschenbaum
Script accompanying slides from Agile on the Beach 2018: What if waste is only a symptom, and not the problem? Borrowing Isabel Menzies' seminal 1957 paper, in this talk I highlight how uncertainty and pressure to deliver causes waste to increase, and offer several practices to reduce the anxiety caused by this stress, and hence decrease our wasteful behaviors

We all want to reduce waste but are we doing it wrongIlan Kirschenbaum
Ever since The Machine That Changed The World lean and agile organizations spend time and effort to eliminate waste. But are we doing it all wrong? Maybe waste is just a symptom of something else?
Isabel Lyth Menzies published a seminal paper in 1957 that suggests that organizations create social defenses to avoid anxiety. And I propose that types of waste are another form of social defenses, that tell us a story about the organization.
In this talk I guide you through the potential origins of waste, and continue from the point that Menzies stopped: What can you do to reduce anxiety and hence also waste.
Participant handouts from Scrum Master as a Facilitator workshop. During this workshop we learn and practice some basic meeting facilitation skills, focus on tips and tricks for Scrum ceremonies, and simulate a Scrum cycle using our learning

We have known of Socio-Technical systems, Self Organizing and Multi-Disciplinary Teams from at least the 1940s. And yet so many are doing it so wrong...
In this talk I share what are Socio-Technical systems by Eric Trist, and how does that relate getting rid of Scrum Masters.

Leadership Without Authority - Scrum Master Week - Day 4Ilan Kirschenbaum
What does it mean to lead without authority? Slides from a workshop full of practices to become aware of responsibility, empathy and complexity in yourself and in teams
Slides from Retrospective Retreat. During this workshop we practice multiple ways for retrospection. We play the Lean Startup Snowflakes game, and immerse in multiple improvement techniques
Back in 2007, Gever Tulley published a book and TED talk - 50 dangerous things to do with your kid. Why not try dangerous stuff with your team to? This talk covers 7 such things, and sets the principles to make them safe enough to try
What can we learn from the standards of aerospace industries that can help us improve our Definition of Done?
Quite a lot, as it turns.
Based on learning from The Checklist Manifesto (Atul Gawande) and research by Peter Pronovost on patient safety, in this talk I make an analogy from real life ICU stories to software teams.
And finally also provide a short guide to help you bring your DoD to higher standards, one notch at a time
אנחנו רגילים להשקיע בתוכניות מפורטות כדי להגדיל את סיכויי ההצלחה של הפרוייקט, ובכל זאת מופתעים מהמציאות הנפרשת לפנינו.
כדברי האימרה הידועה, האם אין זה מטורף לעשות את אותם הדברים ולצפות לתוצאות שונות?
במצגת זו מתוארת אלטרנטיבה המבוססת על תכנון אמפירי, בהסתמך על תיאוריית המערכות המורכבות-אדפטיביות. המצגת מתארת כמו-כן מסגרות פופולריות לתכנון על-סמך מידע אמפירי כגון סקראם וקאנבאן
אם כולם אומרים שאג׳ייל כל כך כיף אז איך זה שמתלוננים על אג׳ייל אצלכם בארגון?
במצגת הזו אני מסביר סיבות אפשריות, וגם חמישה טיפים פרקטיים לצוותי הנהלה להתמודד עם זה.
