Agile in a Nutshell
Are you confused about what this Agile stuff is? What are Scrum and XP and
Lean and TDD and all the other …DD’s? Get ready for a Pecha Kucha style
presentation (but longer). Buckle your seat belt, settle in, and get ready for a whirlwind tour through Agile by a top presenter. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry (well,
maybe not much), and we’ll be able to say at the end “I met Agile”.

Pairing is Fun!
From its start in Extreme Programming, pair programming has become one of the core practices for Agile development teams. In this session, we’ll have fun while doing pairing and learning that pairing is NOT just for programmers!
Highly interactive, lots of fun.

Facilitation Patterns and Antipatterns
Facilitation skills are essential for anyone. In fact, everyone facilitates whether they know it or not! Do you work on a team, manage an organization, or otherwise work with others? The opportunity to facilitate will come up.
Steven “Doc” List will lead you to explore the common patterns & antipatterns that come up in facilitation, for the facilitator and the participants. Weʼll have some fun by taking on roles, and exploring the behaviors that work and that donʼt work. The session will include some time on specific activities and techniques that can be used for effective facilitation.
