Daniel Mezick, author, frequent keynote speaker, and founder of the Open Leadership Network and of Agile Boston joins Agile Coach and Scrum Master Ann Brea to present how 1-week sprints focus attention, encourage faster prioritization, and create genuine results. They will discuss how the 1-week sprint combined with the use of Kanban almost guarantees these 3 outcomes, PLUS some very big increases in FLOW and FUN.

Those attending will learn:

1. Why you want to AVOID terminology, training and theory when starting new agile teams

2. Why to NOT formally designate a Product Owner…at first, and

3.Why the following recipe generates almost IMMEDIATE traction:

  • 1-week Sprints
  • 1 Kanban
  • 30 minutes of Refinement per week
  • 25 minute Sprint Reviews WITH STAKEHOLDERS every week
  • 10 minute Retrospectives
  • 25 minute Sprint Planning

Sounds crazy right? IT’S NOT. Come and hear specific real-world stories about where and how this recipe for fun, flow, and faster cycles is working extremely well!
