Geoff Bowden - Sketchnoting Agile One Doodle at A Time

The Agile Yorkshire Xmas Lightning Talks Competition is one of the most anticipated events of the year, showcasing eight incredible speakers who each delivered a 10-minute talk on their favourite tech topics. With the audience voting for the best speaker and a tight schedule, the evening was packed with energy and insight. This video was recorded during the 2015 event, highlighting one of the many fantastic talks of the evening. Enjoy watching! In this talk, Geoff Bowden introduces the concept of sketchnoting and how it can be used to enhance communication and understanding within Agile teams. Geoff explains how sketching, which combines pictures and words, helps individuals process and remember ideas better than traditional note-taking. Using a variety of examples, Geoff shows how sketchnotes can be used to capture complex concepts such as the Agile Manifesto or minimum viable products. He also emphasizes how sketchnoting can spark discussions, improve understanding, and foster creativity within teams. With a playful and interactive approach, Geoff highlights the benefits of visual thinking in Agile, encouraging others to give it a try and use it to start meaningful conversations within their teams.
