Enhancing a remote agile scrum training
- 1. What’s in it for them? 11/15/2016 DFWScrum meetup, Plano, TX Presented by: Raji Kailasam
- 2. • Rajeswari Kailasam(Rajee) Somatic leadership coach Agile coach at Cognizant Nature as a teacher: Patience : Aztec doves in the backyard Transformation is slow and hard work: Butterfly caterpillars in the backyard Contact: Twitter: @tweettaps Email: raji.coach@gmail.com • Session attendees What inspires you?
- 3. Even after all the lessons learnt..
- 4. • Organizational needs • What’s new? • Get the “feel” before going big • Get started for early feedback • Logistics issues • Individual needs • “I heard during lunch about their plans, and I need to learn about it!”
- 5. And our participants want to know more about ‘the kid’: A participant profile: • Learner • Curious • Interested • Self starter • Has a need to know - even if not practicing • Is testing the waters • Questions what’s wrong with what I am doing now? • Skills augmentation The super cool kid is actually awesome and inclusive of all..
- 6. • Accept: We are evolving into a self learning human race. • Acknowledge: They are intelligent, avid learners, adaptive, and are not far behind. • Recognize our advantage: We train, coach, network, have a tool kit! The current scenario
- 7. • Make it about them! • Ask for “persistent speakers” & “willing to make a fool of myself speakers” • They enjoy guess work. • Allow people to choose when to speak • Red when not able to. • Green for pick me up! • Remember to ask for their hobbies. Give them attention. It is not about what we know. It is about what they will take away.
- 8. • Expansive learning models. • Co-create the session: Audience receive vs Participants create. • Active listening mode: They reveal, we acknowledge. • Opportunity: “Paid internship” • Remind and Repeat: The earliest Agile teams were self taught. • Remember: Agile did not end. Innovation continues …. (Mob Programming) Our mastery is exhibited in encouraging them to explore, rather than a display of our knowledge
- 9. • Trainer • Material • Group • Individuals Engage in: • Conversations They come with: • EIRTH TSUISOMNSAP • They will take with them: • EIRTH RSPCNETOPIE Where should the trainers’s focus be?
- 10. • Gaming the manifesto • Gaming the principles • Gaming a framework • Hobby constellations for roles, user stories • Guess my intent? (Engineering practices) What shall we focus now in the meetup?
- 11. • Take it easy! But take it. - Richard StrozziFeedback

- 13. Humor in Agile: And then when someone explains how sometimes, teams might pick up extra work and “stuff” it into their “tiny” iteration, expecting to haul all the work to completion.. Immediately brings to our mind Which cute mammal?? (It is a featured finalist for the most funniest animal pictures of 2016)
- 16. • Individuals and Interactions • Working software • Customer collaboration • Responding to change • Process and tools • Comprehensive documentation • Contract negotiation • Following a plan
- 17. • Participants choose one manifesto item, and take sides. • Facilitator gathers this information and encourages “time boxed” conversations on one or more manifesto item. • Now, folks have to switch sides and speak “positive aspects” of the other one. • Value: Allows a trainer to uncover individual, team and organizational constraints. These become first backlog items when we move from a trainer to a coach role. Reinforces to participants that Agile was born from experience and not formulated from a theory.
- 18. • Each participant needs to associate those principles that they find most aligned with the manifesto item they chose. • Depending on how the group responds, we can do a variety of exercises. • The most common one I do, is the following: • After the association is made, each participant chooses principles that they can impact immediately and can expect results. • Tag each item with : Need to get better at, need to learn new and need to unlearn. • Begin work! • Value: (group discussion at the meetup)
