Description:
It is not possible to be agile without self-discipline and focus, and so we see that the most effective agile teams use agile methods and are self-disciplined and stay highly focused on their purpose. In this day's activity, expect to learn a model of software development that underlies effective teams, and experience it yourself in a "game" setting. Learn a few techniques that are simple, effective and increase the team's collaboration.
Get a chance to meet and interact with colleagues and with Dr. Cockburn.
