So many challenges, so little time. While were busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how youre doing and find out where to improve. Its a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people. In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with. The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs. By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings. Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively.

Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. Its also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained. But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the teams culture? In this mini-workshop, well play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of whats going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the teams safety and culture, and what has led to positive change. Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety. ]]>

By now, many of us have been through one or more "agile transformations". We've been surrounded by agile coaches and Scrum masters who tried to help us adapt to agile, with managers who became servant leaders. Hopefully they weren't telling you what to do or how to do your work! A lot of people simply hate working in agile teams - Ben hears that all the time. And that is why he's here! In this talk, Ben will explore the difficulties of collaborating in teams and what we can do to make it beneficial and worthwhile for people to work in teams. Ben will delve into what teams really need, and what leaders should do and should not do to support them, including providing an environment and culture where teams can flourish and supporting teams in removing barriers. Through this talk, attendees will gain a better understanding of the reasons why people struggle to work in agile teams, and what leaders can do to create a positive and supportive environment for teams. The talk is intended for anyone working in a team or working with teams, from agile coaches and Scrum masters to managers and team members who are looking to improve their collaboration skills and create a more positive and productive work environment.]]>

How to start up a distributed team online with gamification Remote first is becoming the norm, and this is also true for new teams. Where you would previously organize one or more onsite kick-off sessions to start a new team, a new distributed team would have to be working online together from day 1. Techniques used for team chartering might still be useful, but they would need a different approach for online working. Gamification, incentifying peoples engagement by using game-style principles and practices, can help you to build strong teams. In this session, well look at several tools and playing formats that can be used to start up distributed teams and foster further development. Well do the exercises in teams, and as we will be experimenting with both in-person and online exercises its good to bring your laptop or tablet too. Mini XP Days Instead of scaling up further, XP Days decided to scale-out: they rerun some of the favourite sessions of the previous years XP Days at the Mini XP Day, a one day conference with three tracks. Mini XP Day is ideal if youve missed XP Days or if you want to get a taste of what XP Days is. Mini XP Days 2022 will be held on May 17 at the Van der Valk Hotel Beveren.]]>

Psychological safety in teams is important; it is necessary for the team to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively in order to deliver value. It's also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained; team members must be informed of what's going on in the team and feel comfortable dealing with it. But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team's culture? In this mini-workshop, we'll play a game for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what's going on in teams. Individuals can share what they have learned from working in teams, how it impacted the team's safety and culture, and what led to positive change. We'll use a Jamboard for the game, so you will need a Google account to join the Jamboard. All participants will receive a code along with a discount for buying the cards.]]>

On April 1, 2021, (no joke) I did an Agile 101 for Agile New England where we played the Agile Self-assessment Game online. The Agile Self-assessment Game: How Agile Are You? by Ben Linders The Agile Self-assessment Game is an Agile compass & map to find out where you are and inspire you with ideas and suggestions on where to go next on your agile journey. Its a cooperative card game to discover how agile you are and what you can do to increase your agility to deliver more value to their customers and stakeholders. In this session, Ben Linders explored how a game can enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs. And we have played with the Agile self-assessment cards online. Ben Linders is an Independent Consultant in Agile, Lean, Quality, and Continuous Improvement. As an adviser, trainer, and coach, he helps organizations with effectively deploying software development and management practices. He focuses on continuous improvement, collaboration and communication, and professional development, to deliver business value to customers. Ben is an active member of networks on Agile, Lean, and Quality, and a well-known speaker and author. Creator of many Agile Coaching Tools, for example, the Agile Self-assessment Game. ]]>

Back to the Future A Futurespective on Software Development in 2040 We start the futurespective by sketching the future. How is software developed in 2040? Is it people, AI, or a combination? Teams, large groups, or individual work? Programming and testing, or other approaches? Continuous delivery, chunks, iterations, push or pull? Distributed, dispersed, localized teams? There are no limits, let your imagination flow to visualize ideas about developing software products in 2040. Next, well discuss what got us there. How did these new ways of developing software come into existence? How did we discover them? What experiments led to this? What drove us or influenced us along the way? Finally, we think about the steps that we can take in 2020 to reach the castle in the sky of software development. What can we do now to become better? What should we stop as it wont exist in the future anymore? Lets find out how the future of software development looks, by doing a futurespective exercise in groups!]]>

The mini-workshop Retrospecting your Retrospectives at eXperience Agile 2020 provides you with ideas to debug your agile retrospectives, find out why they arent working and learn how to spice them up and bring the energy back in the team. Are your retrospective meetings not helping teams to improve? Same actions coming up every retro? People skip the retro, or find them boring? A lack of energy in the room? Chit-chatting instead of discussing real issues? No need for that, lets retrospect your retrospectives! In this mini-workshop, you will experience how to use retrospective exercises to debug your retrospective meetings. People will work in teams to reflect on how their retrospectives are going and will learn what they can do to make them valuable again. Its a highly interactive session, learning by doing. Ill bring in my experience from 20 years of doing agile retrospectives, and will set a culture where people will share their ideas and learn. Agile retrospectives should help teams to reflect at the end of each iteration to learn and decide what to improve and take action in the next iteration. Valuable Agile Retrospectives provide the solution for a successful agile adoption at all levels in the organization. They help teams to reflect and learn how to apply agile practices effectively, and support managers with ideas to set conditions for their teams to grow and deliver more value. But sometimes retrospectives dont live up their expectation. Problems that can happen are: The same questions (what went well, what to improve) are being asked Similar actions keep coming up in every retrospective Nothing happens after the meeting, actions are not done People are postponing or skipping the retrospective meeting Team members complain that retrospectives are boring and a waste of time Theres a lack of energy in the room during the meeting, people are not engaged People dont feel safe to speak up and share their view Discussions in the retrospective are not about the real problems (elephant in the room) The retrospective facilitator is leading people towards a pre-defined answer/solution In this session, teams will be doing 5 different exercises. In a time slot of two hours, teams rotate to do 2-3 of them. Intended audience: Scrum masters, agile coaches, tech leads, developers, testers, operations, and anyone who facilitates retrospectives. This session includes ideas published in my book Getting Value out of Agile Retrospectives, practices from the Retrospective Exercises Toolbox, and agile coaching tools available in my webshop. Its partly based on things that I teach in one of my workshops: Increasing Organizational Agility with Retrospectives. Learning Objectives: Learn to use exercises to reflect on your current practice of retrospectives See how to create a safe and productive environment to run retrospectives Practice effective skills for facilitating retrospectives and getting people engaged]]>

It can be hard for agile teams to deal with quality and testing challenges and decide what to do to deliver high-quality products. There are many different approaches and solutions, which, depending on the context, the problem at hand, and how they are applied, can be more or less effective. In this webinar, Ben Linders will show you how can use gamification to self-assess your current way of working and enhance quality and testing in agile teams. Playing games with the Agile Testing Coaching Cards and Agile Quality Coaching Cards make it possible to explore your current quality and testing practice and reach a consensus on what could be improved. Players can use the coaching cards to discuss quality and testing values, principles, and practices. In teams, people can use the cards to share their experiences and learnings. During the webinar, well pick out cards from the coaching decks to go into detail on specific principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively.]]>

In this webinar, Ben Linders will show you how can use gamification to self-assess your current way of working and enhance quality and testing in agile teams. Playing games with the Agile Testing Coaching Cards and Agile Quality Coaching Cards make it possible to explore your current quality and testing practice and reach a consensus on what could be improved. Players can use the coaching cards to discuss quality and testing values, principles, and practices. In teams, people can use the cards to share their experiences and learnings. During the webinar, well pick out cards from the coaching decks to go into detail on specific principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively.]]> Fri, 11 Sep 2020 13:28:43 GMT /slideshow/webinar-enhancing-quality-and-testing-in-agile-teams-practitest-ben-linders/238455524 BenLinders@slideshare.net(BenLinders) Webinar enhancing quality and testing in agile teams - PractiTest - Ben Linders BenLinders It can be hard for agile teams to deal with quality and testing challenges and decide what to do to deliver high-quality products.
