Articulating Value to Stakeholders

Many of us participate in periodic reviews of the work that our development teams have completed in the form of a sprint review. Sometimes it can seem difficult to articulate the value that has been delivered when that work product doesn't seem 'flashy' or 'exciting'. Too often, this prompts us to fall back to into old patterns of status review. Join us as we examine some different ways to represent value, while getting the feedback we need to adjust and inform our work going forward.

Cultivating Space for Learning

Software development is a highly creative endeavor. To do it successfully requires space for collaboration and experimentation. Providing an environment in which people have room to think, and the safety to try, learn and adapt is key.

If you are in an environment that doesn't take full advantage of learning opportunities, or even discourages time for learning altogether, this highly-interactive session is for you.

We will discuss the conditions needed to provide the greatest opportunity for learning and continuous improvement. Through guided activities, participants will examine the current conditions in their own team environments, and leave the session with an action plan to cultivate spaces where teams can grow and thrive.
