Agile and Beyond 2017

Let's face it....we all love lift and carry templates. Arthur Murray was made famous by his footstep diagrams for learning complex dances. I promise mine are a lot easier to follow than learning the Foxtrot! Maybe you just got asked to facilitate a session with no time to prepare, or maybe you are just getting started with branching out into some new exercises. Maybe you'd like to take some new ideas back to your teammates to experiment with in the privacy of your trusted team. No matter what, it's handy to have a pre-laid out agenda at the ready. The goal of this session is to be interactive and allow you to walk away with a large group facilitation guide that you have personally experienced and discussed the facilitation techniques here at the conference. The flow we are going to follow is one that I've used with many different Agile programs. We'll look at the "why" behind each exercise and the purpose it should be fulfilling with your group. Then we'll run the exercise together and discuss pros/cons, and facilitation tips/tricks. Exercises Flow: - Warm-Up question (check-in) - Tribes - Constellations - Sailboat + Debrief: - Wind in Sails - Anchors - Steering Wheel on the boat - Life Preserver
