Is Scrum incompatible with the human brain?
When you start using Scrum, interesting things start happening in your brain. Scrum exposes a lot of problems, and you brain tries to make you feel better by automatically sweeping them under the carpet.
Unfortunately this also means that improvements achieved will be limited and actually it will make you feel worse rather than better. This talk will show you how to handle this and other basic human issues that occur when you start working on changing and improving. After the talk you will have new skills
that you can apply to make progress on any problem you care about.

Can a few agile enthusiasts change an organization?
More and more organizations are adopting agile methods, for individual projects and even whole departments. This change is being facilitated by enthusiastic coaches and project managers and developers, and many people are going on training courses and gaining agile certifications. All this activity is certainly leading to improvements, but will it last? In this fishbowl discussion we’ll be talking about how to sustain desirable organizational change. Once the early adopters and initiators have gone on parental leave or got a new job, will their legacy be more than a pile of (mostly broken) unit tests and a habit of holding meetings standing up?
The discussion is open to everyone, but to get things going, some of the conference speakers have kindly agreed to sit in the fishbowl at the start and share their views on the matter.
