[TIP] register this week for: Deep Agile 2010: Empowering Teams with Agile Games

[Bob Clancy]

Agile development teams are like emergency response teams - they need
to be ready to act quickly to new challenges and changing competition.

At the "Deep Agile 2010: Empowering Teams with Agile Games" seminar,
you will experience techniques that teach agile teams how to work
together effectively and adapt to changing conditions.

I say "experience" because, rather than hearing lectures, you will be
learning actively through observation and situational experiences, led
by professional coaches and engaged facilitators.

The seminar includes structured sessions along three tracks: games to
learn, games to change, and games to do work. You can move between
tracks to select the blend of exercises that best suits your needs.
Sessions range from introductory Agile concepts, to the theory of
constraints (via the "bottleneck" game), to innovative topics such as
using the art of improvisation to facilitate teamwork and exploring
emergent design.

The second day will feature an “Open Space” meeting session, in which
participants decide the agenda, then meet in breakout groups to
explore the topics of greatest interest and share ideas for solutions.
Open Space sessions are exceptionally stimulating and productive,
because the discussions focus on the questions, problems and successes
of you and your peers. (See:

Agile 2010: Empowering Teams with Agile Games" in Cambridge, MA on May
15-16, so register today!
