| Join Us @ Agile 2009 |
Pete is presenting two sessions at Agile 2009 in Chicago - August 24 - 28:
While conferences in general have been down in attendance this year due to the economy, this is still the most comprehensive agile conferences available and a must see for any new or old agile practitioners. I have been presenting the Death by Scrum Meeting session in a number of settings this year and one thing sticks out - companies have a difficult time with Scrum meetings. Come find out some of the principles behind Scrum and some awesome facilitation techniques to achieve effective and efficient Scrum meetings at the same time improving your team ownership, commitment, accountability and discipline - sounds too good to be true. The agile leadership workshop is one that I have also held privately for a number of companies in various forms through offsite management meetings, corporate-sponsored workshops, and other role-specific coaching engagements. One thing stands out - Middle management is struggling with their new role in Scrum. Whether you are a project manager, development manager, quality manager, director or VP - Scrum puts a new twist on some old roles. This workshop drills down into the organizational structures and focuses on some key characteristics which can enrich any leader's skills to help foster stronger and more engaged teamsI am looking forward to seeing you at the conference! |
