How long does it take to write a name?
How long does it take to execute a trivially simple project such as
writing a name on piece of paper? What are the key forces influencing
project length, and what can you do about it?
This short & fun simulation illustrates a very common problem & how to
deal with it. We'll do the simulation and then discuss the lessons
learned and implications on your own projects.

Everyone likes change, but nobody likes to be changed
The hard thing with Agile & Lean is not the principles and practices - the hard thing is making change happen in practice. A very common question is "OK, I understand what this is about, but how do I convince my boss/customer/team/etc?".
To change organizations you need to change people. To change people you need to start with the only person you have any control over - yourself.
In this talk we will use real-life examples to help you understand what you can do to trigger organizational change and help your company become more Agile & Lean.
