Change Artistry

Marc Evers (Piecemeal Growth), Willem Van Den Ende (Living Software BV)

Discovery Sessions · Individuals & Teams

Monday, 14:00, 1 hour 30 minutes | Meeting Room 10

When you start practicing agile you'll find yourself bringing about change at some point: change in yourself and your way of working, change in your team and your project, change in your organisation, change in the way you work with customers. Bringing and managing personal and organizational change is more than science – to be effective, we grow and train ourselves in becoming change artists. The goal of this session is to share experiences with tools, techniques, principles and practices among fellow change artists. We would like to invite ourselves and others to bring our favourite change artistry tools and practices, and explain what they are to others . Through sharing, we want to understand why they work, and how they do or do not work in our context. By sharing we learn new techniques from others.
