    Dave West

    The future of Agility

     

    The last 2 ½ years has demonstrated the need for governments, organizations, teams and
    people to be more agile. COVID-19 and the associated economic, social and environment
    impact has turned many well-built plans into messy wish lists and impossible targets. Agile has
    become not just a competitive nice to have, but a foundational requirement for success. But
    what is this agile? Is this the same agile as Scrum defined 27+ years ago? Or is it some new agile
    that embraces everyone? In this talk Dave West, CEO of Scrum.org talks about the lessons we
    have learnt from Scrum and how they will provide a foundation to the future of work. He will
    discuss how Lean Startup, Design Thinking coupled with a people centric approach to
    organizational structure will, when aligned to the right customers and outcomes drive to a
    more agile and responsive organization.

    The Agile Kata

    The Agile Kata is a practice that is built on proven patterns well known in the agile, lean and leadership communities. The Kata intends to provide a language for everyone seeking help with agile transformations, organizational improvement and product teams. If repeated often, the Agile Kata can take organizations to higher levels of business agility and turn them into hyper-performing companies that are transitioning from responding to change to leading change.

    Organizations applying the Agile Kata will notice individual and team empowerment, resulting in higher employee satisfaction and engagement which will in turn foster an agile culture.

The new way of working is called S@S, Simplify at Scale. What do you encounter if you have to work in this S@S way as part of the organization, what does that look like and what is the future?

    How to help your Agile Team grow - Analysis and the right interventions based on Tuckman's Stages of Development

Individuals are competent professionals, yet as a team they are ineffective: Every member does its own thing, communication lacks, there are forces at work… By recognizing this and doing effective interventions, the team effectiveness will grow. In this workshop you will experience this theory and then analyze the situation of your own team. So that you are able to help your team grow.

    All Agile Amsterdam community members are expected to comply with our Agile Amsterdam Code of Conduct:

    • We drive toward equality and inclusion of diversity representation, expertise, and involvement. We value diverse idea representation to empower the Agile Amsterdam community and we believe everyone is better off when more ideas are shared.
    • In support of this mission, Agile Amsterdam 2022 ensures a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment for everyone. We encourage everyone to help in creating a welcoming and safe environment. Please report any concerns by contacting the Agile Amsterdam event organizers and volunteers and/or email to info@agileamsterdam.nl

    Agenda and Speaker Changes

    Agile Amsterdam is doing its upmost best to adhere to any published agenda and list of speakers. However, it can always happen that a speaker or company declines or wants a change in assigned slot last minute for any reason beyond our control. We apologize for this and for any inconvenience caused, however, we will always find an alternative and we make sure that the entire content of our event is rich enough to deal with such an exceptional situation.

     

    Master Class Changes

    As an organizer, it is our commitment to attract as many students as possible for our offered classes so that learning is optimal. However, sometimes it is beyond our control that in a highly exceptional case a certain class may not attract enough participants for meaningful learning. When this happens, we are committed to informing our students at least 4 weeks ahead of the anticipated start date, offer the registered students an alternative discounted learning track, and when this is not feasible or accepted by the registered student, refund the ticket price entirely and immediately.

     

    Master Class Trainers

    As an organizer, we are committed to assigning a qualified trainer to our classes (preferably Scrum.org, IC Agile Institute and/or SAFe licensed). As all our trainers are of the highest standards, we exercise the right to assign a specific trainer to a class as we deem most appropriate. This means that a last-minute change in trainer may be possible.

      Casa Hotel Special Offer

      Negotiation is under way. Normally, we negotiate a discount of 10%.

       

      Other hotels

      The nearby hotels that we approached, claim that their best prices can be found via the larger hotel sites, such as:

      We, therefore, recommend using these booking sites.

       

      Tickets

      At the event itself, there is no need to bring your ticket with you. We use a guest list.

       

      Theme Lunch

      When we get closer to the event, we will contact you to see if you are interested to join a theme lunch with us. We will organize different "theme" tables and this offers you a nice opportunity to meet some other attendees and to discuss your topic of interest.
