Presentation: "Patterns from Agile Retrospectives"
Track:
Agile Software Development
Time: Monday 10:15 - 10:45 Location: Nortvegia
Abstract: Certainly the team itself benefits from having retrospectives both at the end of each iteration and at the end of the project or release, but the real benefit to the company is to share learning across teams. This takes an investment and requires a special role -- corporate minstrel -- but the lessons learned can be invaluable. This short presentation will share some of those learnings or "patterns" from one minstrel's experience.
Tutorial: "Introducing New Ideas into Organizations"
Track:
Tutorials
Time: Friday 13:00 - 16:00 Location: Suecia
Abstract: Many people who attend JAOO encounter new ideas they want to take back to their organizations, but then struggle to make something happen. This struggle has become especially apparent of late as enthusiastic agile development proponents want to encourage their teams to apply these new approaches. This tutorial will help participants understand what successful change agents have learned while attempting to introduce new ideas into their organizations. The lessons learned have been documented in a growing pattern language for introducing new ideas into organizations. This tutorial will present the problems and solutions documented in this language and allow participants to discuss and discover answers to the challenges they have encountered while introducing new ideas into their organizations.
