Accelerated Learning: How Can Agile Help You? ![]() Par Artur Margonari
Have you ever thought about applying your Agile knowledge to learn something you want?
Want to learn how to play an instrument? Want to learn a new language? Want to know how to juggle balls? Whatever is the new skill you are willing to learn, believe me: Agile can help you with it.In our life, we often face the need of learning something new. Sometimes it’s for the job. Sometimes to impress the person we love. Sometimes it’s for fun or a new hobby… Whatever is the reason, we know that this knowledge/skill cannot be downloaded straight into your brain (yet) like in a nice movie where people can fly and dodge bullets. We know that learning something completely new can be very challenging. We still need to read books, to study, to attend to classes, to do researches, to follow lessons, to practice and of course: be patient, because sometimes the learning curve can be very slow…In order to accelerate this learning process, many techniques and tricks have been created along the years. And as I’m one of these people who are always trying to learn something new and excited to see results as fast as possible, I’m always looking for these tricks and methods to support me in the learning process. And in this pursuit for ways to learn faster and faster my attention was caught, in special, by one of these methods.It’s not a complicated method, full of techniques and tricks. In fact, it’s basically 5 simple steps. And I’ll share this technique with the audience, who and how it was created. Then you ask me: « Ok, nice. But why are you proposing this talk for an Agile event? ». Exactly for the reason why this method caught my attention: it’s incredibly similar to Agile values and principles! Thus, if you know what Agile is about, you are half way to use it in your favor to learn anything you want very fast. |

Comment rendre les organisations plus agiles
Par Jean-Pierre Palante et Yves Péters
A l’heure où les organisations doivent évouler dans un monde VUCA, digitalisé, et avec des clients récalmant de plus en plus
d’innovation, d’individualisation avec un service direct, comment les organisations doivent-elles évoluer et se structurer pour pouvoir répondre à ce besoin d’agilité. Comment faire passer ces organisations pyramidales, très hiérarchiques (commande & control) vers une organisation plus modulaire, au centre d’écosystèmes où la collaboration, l’intelligence collective et le sens en sont les moteurs. Quels sont les ingrédients indispensables pour assurer la performance des organisations dans cette nouvelle économie et comment pouvons-nous en être les acteurs. |

Listening based on Theory U ![]() Otto Scharmer’s Theory U outlines four levels of listening. It turns out that they have a connection to effective Agile practices and Google’s discovery on their quest to build the perfect team. This interactive session will help you to make connections between Google’s research findings on effective teams, a high-level overview of Theory U, a dive down into Theory U’s listening and conversing levels, and how it all relates to mindful high performance Agile practices. Get a glimpse into how to recognize and participate in deep authentic engagement that will improve your listening, relationships, teams, retrospectives, projects, and maybe even your life. True to excellent Agile, this is an awareness movement that, if practiced, will lead to surprising and interesting results.

Donner & recevoir du feedback. Ou comment tirer des leçons utiles même quand les messages sont mal emballés.
Le feedback. Une pratique centrale des méthodes Agiles. On pourrait même dire pas d’Agilité sans feedback.Feedback positif? Agréable! Et pourtant pas toujours utile s’il s’apparente à une louange.
Feedback négatif? Désagréable, souvent. Et pas utile du tout si on le prend contre soi ou s’il est exprimé avec des jugements masqués.Alors comment donner du feedback authentique : sans mettre l’interlocuteur sur un piédestal si on est satisfait, ni le vouer à l’enfer si on est insatisfait ? Comment recevoir du feedback de manière bienveillante : sans construire une image d’ennemi de celui qui parle ? Comment rendre un feedback utile : c’est-à-dire qui indique ce qui mérite d’être répété ou amélioré ?C’est ce que cette conférence/atelier vous propose de découvrir. |

Tribal Leadership Par Steffan Surdek
The book Tribal Leadership introduces five stages that represent a range of behaviors that tribes (ie.: groups of 20 or more people) act and think together.
These stages range from Stage 1 where « Life Sucks! » to Stage 5 where « Life is Great! ». Most software development teams (and most workplaces) live in the three stages in between. This talk takes group development model presented in Tribal Leadership and helps coaches, scrum masters, team leaders and managers better understand some of the behaviors they may see every day in their agile software development teams. Participants will experience and explore the stages in various ways such as through music and an interactive game called « Guess that Tribal Stage ».« Steffan’s work really brings together the worlds of Tribal Leadership and Agile software development in an interesting way. I think highly of him and how he brings these worlds together in a clear and simple way. » Dave Logan, co-author of the NY Times best-selling book Tribal Leadership |
