  Next week I will be speaking at one of my favorite groups – Agile San Diego – on October 7th beginning at 6:30 PM.  The topic will be “Tools for ScrumMasters and Agile Team Leaders” and this is a quick description of the session.

  Are you just getting OK results with Scrum?  Has Agile not delivered on the much anticipated quantum leads in productivity everyone had been promised?  One common source of lackluster performance comes from following routine behaviors and ordinary patterns of teamwork associated with the “old way of doing things”.  In this hands-on workshop, Carlton Nettleton will share powerful techniques from his coaching toolbox that breaks these old patterns, unlocks the potential of Teams and gets them moving toward high-performance.

  This is going to be a fun evening and a bit experimental since I am going to leave the main learning objective up to the participants.  I will also be giving away a free copy of Lyssa Adkins’s excellent book, Coaching Agile Teams.  Come to The Linkery, have a few drinks and learn something new!
