How do Agile teams thrive in the face of constant change, tight deadlines, and unexpected obstacles? Scrum provides structure, but it’s often our mindset that determines success. Enter Stoicism, an ancient philosophy that offers timeless tools for resilience, clarity, and focus—essential traits for anyone navigating the complexities of modern software development.

In this talk, we’ll explore how Stoic principles like amor fati (embracing challenges as opportunities), dichotomy of control (focusing on what we can influence), and apatheia (maintaining emotional balance) can transform how teams approach work in a Scrum framework.

By blending the pragmatism of Stoicism with the adaptability of Scrum, we’ll uncover actionable strategies for:

Leading teams through uncertainty with calm and confidence
Building trust and focus in Agile environments
Responding constructively to setbacks and failures
This session is for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Agile team members looking to enhance their practices, foster resilience, and create sustainable team success.

Join me to discover how ancient wisdom can help us meet today’s challenges—and turn them into opportunities for growth.
