Lean Coffee @ Agile Ottawa

[spurkis]

Last night I facilitated our first Lean Coffee meetup at Agile Ottawa. Thanks again to all who made it out, and to You.i TV for the venue, food & drinks! :)

We covered a lot of interesting topics:

• How to sell executive sponsors on addressing technical debt?
• How to transition slow adopters from waterfall to agile when others have moved on?
• Wardley Maps - how they can be used to decide when to do Agile.
• How to estimate user stories?
• How to engage an overloaded Product Owner more with the team?
• Adopting [agile] with non-agile clients.
• Scrum & Continuous Delivery - are they compatible?

See the pictures below for key points covered.

We also had some great feedback on the session:

• Interesting discussions (x6!)
• Loved it, do it again (x4!)
• Well moderated (aside: thanks! :)
• Got a lot of good ideas

I’m already looking forward to our next Lean Coffee :)

Here are the pictures I took of our whiteboard:
