@MichelePlayfair A fellow foot liberator 🙌🙌🙌 Hello @jessitron - love the socks 😁👊

Also note the lack of foot prisons @MichiTyson 😁

"The origins of opera and the future of programming" - I've read about this talk online and I'm so excited to see @jessitron deliver it here at #YOW18 !!! 😄

I'm DELIGHTED to announce Australia's FIRST ONLINE @ICAgile Professional certification, delivered by @agile_attitude - we're running a SPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFER for the first 20 participants, check it out on bit.ly/2HJBuB1 #onlinelearning #icagile

The path to agility is never ending. True transfirmations to agility should not end either, that’s why “Continuous Improvement” is part of agility

"I’ve been to conferences where it may as well have been a series of YouTube videos, for all the discussion and interaction taking place. Not here. This is an engaged and positive group of people with a broad range of views." bit.ly/2HWarA0 @cubisia's visit to #1stConf

@mjiagood 9/ behaviours into a convenient, artificial model or theory that is unaware of its own assumptions (e.g. waterfall, economic theory, etc). whew - possibly more of an answer than you were bargaining for 😋 what are your thoughts on the topic?

@mjiagood 8/ avoiding unnecessary (and often wasteful) complexity with simple and effective design (of processes, org structures, tech solutions) and embracing the true nature of how individuals and collectives operate and learn how to work with it, rather than trying to manage....

@mjiagood 7/ learning and knowledge, bit by bit. or me, this is the core of agility (business or otherwise) - it's not about tools, techniques, practices but instead it's about recognising uncertainty and collaboratively working towards filling it with new understanding, ...

@mjiagood 6/ "how can i lock down contracts better so i can save my a**" but rather "how can we learn together what will work for you, and what won't". for me, "embracing uncertainty" simply means to recognise uncertainty and assumptions and working towards filling uncertainty with...

@mjiagood 5/ that didn't meet the needs (and therefore wasting any time and effort that had gone into it). so agile was (and for me, very much still is) an attempt at reframing the problem - not "how can i educate the user better so they give me better requirements" or...

@mjiagood 4/ As people, we're better at eliminating what we don't want, than exactly pin-pointing what we do want - in a technology context, that meant either a lot of changes late in a project (after a significant amount of time, effort & money had been expended) or delivering something..

@mjiagood 3/... uncertainty around "user needs" (as we are all bound by our own experience to date, it has always been difficult for users / customers to distill and express WHAT exactly they NEED), leading to increased uncertainty around requirements.

@mjiagood 2/ ...and education came an increased rate of change. Faster rate of change means it becomes harder and harder to predict a medium- or even long-term future, leading to uncertainty. At the same time, increased adoption meant that technologists had to deal with more and more...

@mjiagood 1/ agile in its current iteration (and i'd like to point out that agile is an evolution of methods going back as far as the 50s - so it's definitely not something that was "born" in the 90s) was designed to respond to an increase in technology adoption. With increased adoption...

@mjiagood Hey Meegan, great to hear from you! I've made it back safe and sound last night, I hope you guys had a great time wrapping up the conference! re uncertainty - absolutely, thanks for asking! so here goes my take:

"If what you want is action to be taken, then you must refrain from giving the answers.” —Eli Goldratt

As a leader, you're a custodian -your legacy needs to be to leave the place in a better state than you found it - @craiglauchlan at #1stConf - love it! #leadership #transformation

Within structure, there is freedom - without boundaries, we just have anarchy via @craiglauchlan at #1stConf on using boundaries + flow + balance for better outcomes

Create boundaries and encourage people to be as creative as possible within - @craiglauchlan on transformational #leadership and #flow at #1stConf

@leighmgibson @1stConf @agile_attitude Thank you - what a fab 2 days and as a presenter I must say is YOU guys attending, questioning and learning, that make it awesome
