Keynote: Real World Agility

Agile promised effectiveness, but has it delivered? Drawing from my book, Real World Agility, I share my experiences over the last 12+ years across numerous large organisations where agility worked in being more effective, but also where it didn’t and how I got it wrong.

Framework Agnostic Capacity Planning At Scale

In this talk, I share how I led an organisation in adopting an approach that allows them to do this at scale (over 100 teams), all in a way that is framework-agnostic and allowed the teams the freedom in choosing their own way of working.

I share the practices and techniques to adopt, (free) tools to use, as well as the learning along the way.

How (Agile) Charts Lie

In recent years, measurement has increasingly gained more traction in our industry with many folks wanting to "measure" or even "measure what matters" when adopting new ways of working. This session demonstrates just how prevalent lying with (agile) charts is, particularly with what will be some of your favourite metrics.

The Importance Of Being Blocked

Despite our best attempts at creating small, cross-functional and autonomous teams, being “blocked” is unfortunately still a common occurrence with many teams. This talk demonstrates just how important being blocked is, the insights you may be missing out on and what data/metrics you can track for blocked work in order to quantify their impact.

Coaching In A Data-Driven World

39% of executives say their companies are highly data-driven, but mentioning data can often result in concerned faces. This session showcases how you can bring to life empiricism into your coaching toolkit, enabling more open, transparent conversations and informed decision making.
