Building and Growing a Successful Agile Team
Wed (04:00 PM - 05:30 PM)
Event Summary
How would you build a team from scratch? What techniques would you use? What metrics should you respond to? In this talk you’ll see how we assembled a team, embedded agile values, a DevOps mindset and a clear purpose to create a squad with an infectious, high performing culture.
We’ll demonstrate the coaching and visualisation techniques we used to reduce batch size and improve quality. You’ll see how to reveal hidden product backlogs, make the invisible visible, and use domain driven design, theory of constraints and language to optimise team resilience.

Building and Growing an Agile Team
How would you build a team from scratch? What techniques would you use? What metrics should you respond to? In this talk you’ll see how we assembled a team, embedded agile values, a DevOps mindset and a clear purpose to create a squad with an infectious, high performing culture.
We’ll demonstrate the coaching and visualisation techniques we used to reduce batch size and improve quality. You’ll see how to reveal ‘hidden’ product backlogs, make the invisible visible, and use domain driven design, theory of constraints and language to optimise team resilience.

The Art of The Possible
We hear much about the state of agile in 2019 - fake agile returns to waterfall and the resurgence of command and control.
Jon will tell you a story about software delivery. It's a story of success against the odds by a great team. Jon hopes to restore your optimism as he tells you about 'The Art of The Possible'.
