Events like Big Room Planning provide lots of practice DOING agile—refining backlogs of features and stories, reviewing acceptance criteria, designing for -ilities, bringing people together across disciplines and departments, planning to deliver value iteratively and incrementally, building roughly right forecasts rather than precisely wrong plans, and more.

But what about BEING agile? What about effective idea-generation, rich learning, high-bandwidth communication, high-performing teams, shared ownership of results, radical work transparency, and real trust and respect? With intention in design and attention to facilitation, we have made—and you can make—BRP a place where people learn, practice, and master agile culture.

In this talk, Ronica Roth, co-author of the forthcoming book Practice Makes Culture (to be published by IT Revolution), will show how you can redesign a single large meeting to include many many places for people to practice the skills and behaviors that build an agile CULTURE. Build psychological safety, real collaboration and a culture of learning while also making the meeting even more effective at achieving its core purpose.
