Thanks to all who made it out on a very snowy night to our Film Festival! Not only did the participants brave the harsh weather, but they also brought with them their curiosity and juicy questions about Agile adoption.
Here’s a quick summary of the content shared during the Film Festival.
101 Session Whiteboards – Brief Overview of Agile and Scrum
These brief interpretations were created and presented by Caroline Sauvé
Film #1: Agile Version 2016 by Dan North, presented December 2016 at GOTO Conference
In this 30 minute video, Dan offers an overview of where Agile has come from – noting that Agile is 20 years in the making. He also offers a view into where it should be going based on real world experience. To learn more about Dan, check out his website: https://dannorth.net/
Film #2: Cynefin Framework by Dave Snowden
We followed up the overview of where Agile has come from and where it is going with an introduction to Cynefin Framework. This decision making framework offers a useful lens to apply when teams and organizations are asking themselves – how should I approach Agile adoption. We noted that most adoptions are effectively managed between the Complex and Complicated (this is where most systems are stable).
Thanks to Dag who managed coordination and facilitation of allowing remote collaboration for this event – on short notice!
