Spice up your team agility with improv!

Have you ever been part of a great team? A team where you loved to come to work every day, a team that encouraged to accomplish goals that you felt were near impossible?

Have you ever been on a team from hell? A team with constant conflict, disagreements and afraid to speak the truth?

Peter Lencioni in his book, “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’ refers to trust as a foundation and key ingredient to high performing teams. Various exercises in this workshop, will allow individuals naturally become more aware and vulnerable to build a stronger bond of trust.

Many principles that actors live by are the same principles that a high performing agile team should live by as well. The session is all about focusing and bringing those key skills needed by agile teams to be increase their agility through confidence building improvisational techniques.

Many of us think we cant do improv. We get stuck in our head and panic with not knowing what to do or say. This workshop involves highly interactive group activities that are fun and fast paced designed to help communicate effectively and think on your feet.

Kanban Policies: Greater Value Delivery with Explicit Policies

Kanban is often thought of as a board with tasks which move back and forth, hence the true benefits of Kanban fail to materialize. It is more than a list of tasks, it is a change management method for directly improving project delivery.

Often neglected are Kanban policies, which are set a guidelines and agreements that govern not only how we work but when and how do we pull in new work.

In this session, you will experience the a Kanban game, a fun and interactive simulation to experience how polices affect delivery performance and value to your customers

Are You Ready to Rumble: Scrum vs Kanban - Its NOT What You Think!

A lot of teams still question whether they should use Kanban or Scrum in order to deliver outstanding value to their customers. Scrum and Kanban are often seen as different and competing frameworks, its one OR the other and when one doesn’t work let’s switch over to the other! Why can’t that OR be an AND??

And NO, ScrumBan does not exist full stop!!. There is no definitive guide, it’s just different interpretations to every “Tom, Dick & Harry”.

There are many misguided perceptions between two, one is lightweight framework and the other a method. YES, that’s right, they are not both frameworks!! Yeah, so what, who cares? Right. Comparing a framework to a method is like comparing apples to oranges.

In this interactive session, we will uncover the truth, applying the respective Scrum and Kanban guides to prove that both are in fact two unique approaches to solving different problems and that they are not mutually exclusive, you can do both!!!

Scrum AND Kanban OVER Scrum OR Kanban!
