Most of you know the basics of an Agile Retrospective; whats going well, what needs to be improved, . Maybe you know some ways to make retrospectives fun. Heck, who doesnt like some fun! Were not going to talk about those things. This workshop is going to experience some of the fundamental skills required to get people communicating, not just talking, but enabling them to achieve better outcomes from their retrospectives or any other collaborative sessions. We are going to learn about and practice listening skills, powerful questions, and understanding perspectives. All of these skills help us uncover ideas that amplify our collaborative work. Understanding those perspectives help us grow stronger, more resilient, teams that find ways to continuously improve.]]>

In many Agile environments testing is either pushed to the end of a Sprint or is handled in a separate Sprint. This mini-waterfall approach to testing can be the root cause for a number of problems, including stress for the testers, delays in getting to Potentially Shippable Product Increment, missed testing, and team interruptions. During this session we will look at 8 practical techniques that teams can try to help them deliver higher quality products. We will be using Jenga blocks as a tool to explore the techniques that can be used to improve quality. This presentation was originally given at Gatineau-Ottawa Agile Tour 2015 (https://confengine.com/gatineau-ottawa-agile-tour-2015/schedule#session-11641-info).]]>
