"Agile customized to meet your needs, reflect your values, and support your business."
MONTHLY AGILITY DISCUSSION GROUP (LEAN COFFEE)
Increasing agility can be challenging. New ceremonies, roles, and artifacts require culture change. Developing an Agile Mindset is hard. Don't be surprised if you’re hearing “that won’t work here” and you’re getting serious pushback
We’ve heard it too. And so have many others. There is no reason to work through this on your own.
​​
Harness the power of collaboration.
​
That’s why we’ve started our monthly agility discussion group (all agility enthusiasts are welcome including Amplio, Guerilla Leadership, Scrum, Lean, Kanban, SAFe, etc...).
Discussion is run using a Lean Coffee format. This session is a place for you to share what is and isn’t working and get insights from others.
Ask questions about agility, agile mindset, peer mentoring, Scrum and Kanban certification exams. Ask about how to leverage Peer Mentoring, Lean, Scrum, and Kanban practices with your teams. If you have any questions about agile, agile mindset, or increasing agility... bring them!
We’ve structured these as informal sessions. Jump in on one or all. Great if you need a little boost, moral support, or positive energy injected into your week. Come to share something really great that you've discovered!

Facilitated by A2Agile Founders Helene Gidley and Tom Meloche.

ZOOM. You must be able to run ZOOM, have a quiet place to work, a working camera and good microphone.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND

​
We discuss other ways for ourselves and our students to grow in our knowledge of agility. Ways that don't inherently compromise ourselves or our message. Ways that deliver more value, faster, through self-organization, not centralization. Ways more true to the spirit of the values represented in the Agile Manifesto.
