IT’S NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS! Yes, using HoA is really useful for people who are starting out, but it’s also useful for those of you who want to get back to the real meaning and value of agility and why agile principles are powerful. Using Heart of Agile to underpin any frameworks or tools you use, will make you stronger.
If you’re experienced and working with less experienced colleagues, or people whose eyes glaze over at the merest hint of jargon or technology…imagine if you had a way of helping them to understand agility…that’s Heart of Agile. We’ve seen this at work in World Vision in Melbourne, for example.
Jurgen Appelo is author of a seminal agile management book, Management 3.0 and one of the most influential names in agile in the world. His current work is very useful for experienced practitioners who are having to innovate better, faster and more effectively.
His latest work centres on innovation, with agile and lean being important elements.
If you loved Management 3.0, you owe it to yourself to hear his updated thinking.
PS - He will only be running his 2-day course, Shiftup: Business Agility and Leadership, twice in Australia…ever. He’s hasn’t taught a course in Australia since 2014 when he was here for Dare Festival.
Soledad Pinter is the Head of Heart of Agile Europe and works closely with agile “godfather", Dr Alistair Cockburn.
She specialises in showing people how HoA can bridge to roles outside of software and IT…it’s so valuable for people who want to help people to “get it”.
She developed her material in close collaboration with Alistair Cockburn, the creator of HoA and also co-author of the Agile Manifesto…one of the most experienced agile practitioners. He created HoA for everyone, no matter their experience.
The Heart of Agile simplifies two decades of practice into four critical imperatives that amplify your effectiveness.
Her 2-day workshop is perfect for those newer to agility or those who want to get back to basics.
Facilitators for the Deeper Learning sessions about the Heart of Agile are all skilled practitioners in Melbourne. They are, Emily Jaksch, Jordana Patterson, Daamon Parker, Richard Parton, Sue Hogg, Phil Gadzinski, Karla Khoo and Alejandra Barbosa Durand. They will help you hone in on some crucial skills, that have practical value.
The 2 closing keynote speakers, Dr Josephine Palermo, and Cameron Schwab have inspirational examples of building better agile teams through an Organisational Psychology lens, and leadership skills built from the high pressure environment of the AFL.
Jurgen's latest book will be available, and he’ll sign it for you.
Networking drinks are included in the registration price.
