Description:

As a group of agile thought leaders, we have succeeded in changing our organization by focusing on One Thing each month.  Every month we pick a topic to go after and conduct a sprint around that topic. We will be discussing some of our past topics, the results we have seen, and conducting a working session so that you can use One Thing too.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Limiting WIP to one item at a time to improve focus
  2. Inspect and adapt so we get better over time
  3. Inclusion and collaboration produce better results

Target Audience:

Executive / Management, Practitioners, Newbies, Coaches
