Facilitation skills make the difference between dreaded “meetings” and engaging, productive team activities. Facilitation skills are essential for all roles in an Agile development team – whether technical, product, design, or coach – because they’re crucial for cross-functional collaboration, conflict resolution, decision-making, navigating uncertainty, fostering a flexible/trusting team environment, and most of all, making Agile’s frequent meeting cadence useful and even enjoyable.

As a leader, the most powerful tool in your arsenal is data. It’s everywhere – but are you harnessing it? Using metrics, you can tell if your product is doing well and make fact-based decisions about what to do next. Metrics create a story of the project, its ups and downs, its wins and challenges, as you continue to work. Metrics are essential in Agile for continuous improvement, predictability, team accountability, quality assurance, and risk management. This session will cover familiar Agile metrics like velocity and the DORA DevOps measurements. Read more

The heart of Agile is satisfying customers with viable, feasible, and delightful products. Agile product roles and practices are designed to help teams align priorities and facilitate effective communication of a clear vision and roadmap. Product roles help prioritize features, refine requirements, maintain a product backlog, foster innovation, and ultimately deliver valuable products. In this session, we’ll talk about Product Manager and Product Owner roles, and how these are often defined quite differently by various employers. Read more
Agile technical practices aim to produce higher quality products as well as a better quality of life for delivery teams. Aspects of eXtreme Programming (XP), which predates even the Agile Manifesto, are now the norm in high-performing organizations: robust test automation; continuous integration, deployment, and delivery; regular collaboration, including pairing and ensemble programming; and architectural simplicity. You don’t have to be an engineer to get value from technical Agility. Read more
The Agile Essentials session on human-centered design will help attendees focus on prioritizing users through the design process, enhancing product usability and satisfaction. Prioritizing users’ needs and iterating based on real user feedback leads to more intuitive and effective products, reducing the risk of costly revisions post-launch and ensuring that products align with their expectations. Organizations benefit from increased user satisfaction, loyalty, and successful product adoption. Read more

Agility has revolutionized the way products and services are built by offering flexible and iterative approaches. Among its distinctive features are the methods it employs for planning, estimating, and forecasting the work. In this presentation, we’ll cover the foundations of breaking down work into small increments, planning in short-term iterations, adapting and responding to customer feedback, and shifting priorities. We’ll learn estimation approaches such as story-pointing, planning poker, and relative sizing. Read more
DevOps practices have become so deeply embedded in organizations that they may not even be associated with “Agile” anymore — but DevOps grew from Agile’s mandate to “deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.” Robust automation of testing, integration, build, deployment, and even compliance checks and release authorization have enabled organizations to operate nimbly, even at a massive scale, and to shorten code-completion time.
