    • AGILE AMSTERDAM 2020

      September 23-25

      Tobacco Theater

      Agile Amsterdam nourishes and cultivates the agile mindset.

       

      Our high-Level Program is in place. Confirmed companies and speakers to date: Dave West (CEO Scrum.org), Shell, Booking.com and more ...

    • Theme for 2020

      Our emphasis this year is on Agile Learning, with special attention to Agile Transformation.

      Call for action!

      Many companies are seeking to become more nimble to adapt to an ever-increasing speed in global market changes. The frequency of change is often driven by digital transformations and new leadership styles that fit with modern, self-organized, autonomous teams. In itself it implies that an Agile Transformation is never done; companies need to keep adjusting. We call for Agile Transformation processes that are Agile in itself; let's explore and learn!

      Who should attend?

      We're aiming for anyone who has a stake in their companies' agile practice. Together, at each level, you can protect, sustain and grow your Agile Transformation.

       

      To name a few roles that we expect: scrum team members, scrum master, product owner, agile coach, architect, release train engineers, portfolio owners, functional and executive leaders.

       

      And we are aiming for agility across the entire organization, so all functions are expected. From IT, Marketing, Sales, Customer Service, HR, Finance to Product Development and Manufacturing.

      Why you should go

      • Better than any formal training. Get tomorrow's training from today's leading voices.
      • Connect with expert speakers in the field of Agility and Agile Organizations.
      • Learn from Agile companies such as Booking.com, Shell. Join our workshops and short Open Space.
      • Optional Master Classes. More enrichment and take-away's for you and your company.
      • A fun and interactive warm-up evening with a keynote speaker and drinks.
      • Enjoy Amsterdam with its canals, museums and rich nightlife.

      Agile Transformation Coach, Owner INCREMENTOR

      Joe is the author of the book Agile Portfolio Management and recently produced the Agile Transformation Kata. INCREMENTOR's portfolio is enourmous, from small start-ups to large scale organizations.

       

      Incrementor has played a vital role in many agile transformations with international clients for more than 10 years.

They call this process pattern the Agile Transformation Kata.

       

      The Kata can be iterative and uses a set of core techniques that support an agile mindset within the leadership and agile teams alike. You can start with the Kata by downloading their white paper or ordering the Kata Poster. The theme of Joe's talk will be about this new Agile Transformation Kata.

      Option 1 | Agile Transformation Kata

      by Joe Krebs & Nils Oud

      Changing an eco-system like a company to an agile organization, is a complex endeavor. Using a prescriptive, plan-driven approach is not going to be successful. Why?

       

      First, in an agile transformation you can’t know the end-state and big upfront planning simply does not work. Secondly, to get large buy-in and support from everyone, the leadership team needs to lead by example. We want to show you a different, more agile approach.

       

      This Master Class includes a good balance of theory, plenty of excercises to take home and plenty of fun to keep you engaged throughout the Matser Class!

    • Registration - Super Early Bird Registration possible!

      Tobacco Theater & Directions

      You wouldn’t expect it, walking around the small street Nes, the cultural main street of Amsterdam. An impressively high room of 200 m² (over 2000 square feet), constructed of steel and rough white plaster. Industrial, fresh, sturdy and with an obvious love for design and history.

       

      This secret location in the heart of Amsterdam has been the stage for many amazing theater dinners, international product presentations and music presentations, congresses, events, and loving theater performances.

      We included an Open Space

      Gamification

    • Agile Amsterdam 2017

      Agile Amsterdam truly nourishes and develops the Agile mindset.

      What did our audience say?

      We received a score of 4.5 out of 5! (150 respondents)

      'An inspiring event that I did not want to miss out on!' - Gamebasics
      'Great, provocative, learning and very agile event' - Renze J. Klamer
      'High-energy and inspiring event on a beautiful location, with great speakers and even better attendees' - Arthur von Kriegenbergh

      A selection of our 2017 speakers

      Jeff Sutherland, Niels Pflaeging, Jurgen Appelo, Spotify and more

      The theme was Agile Leadership. Our general consensus is that the companies are still run top-down with little agility, while the staff executing the work are really trying to work agile. This leads to contradictions.
