"Why agile teams need HISTORY in order to collaborate" with Geoff Watts

Why agile teams need HISTORY in order to collaborate...

"In my experience as an agile coach collaborative teams are often a necessity and I believe all teams have the potential to collaborate well, yet not all teams do. How do you turn a group of individuals into a creative, collaborative team? Are there any patterns that we can follow to help us increase our teams' collaboration? This session will introduce you to some techniques and exercises I have observed in some of the most successful and collaborative agile teams I have come across.

This session will explain the foundational characteristics required for collaboration to exist and grow and will let you experience short, practical and easy-to-implement techniques that you can use with your team(s) to increase their collaboration."

Who is Geoff?

Geoff has pretty much seen and heard it all from a Scrum perspective. As the first Certified Scrum Coach and the longest serving Certified Scrum Trainer, he is highly experienced in the application of Scrum as well as being qualified as a personal and business coach. Even his training courses are based as much around bringing out the knowledge already within the room as it is about being a teacher. His philosophy is based on belief in human potential and creating and supporting a sense of self-awareness and self-confidence in his clients, both individual and organisational.
