Agile Facilitation Skills

A hands-on workshop for effective Agile meetings and way of work

Communication is a critical success factor in all Agile projects. You need it to promote alignment and understanding between people with very different goals, responsibilities, and perspectives, such as Managers, domain experts, end-users, technical experts, and development teams – in other words, all stakeholders.

These interactions happen constantly during the lifetime of a project, starting with the inception phase and then continuing on with all the opportunities Agile provides to bring people into the same room, where they can learn and get feedback.

To reap the benefits of face-to-face learning opportunities, your meetings need to be efficient, energetic, focused, and participative. They also need to produce concrete results that you can put into action. Finally, they must make the best use of the time of all the people attending, which is one of the most valuable resources you have available.

Fully participative meetings will tap into the collective intelligence of the group, thus improving product design, project execution, and risk management.
