How to Respond When
There is Resistance to Agile Ways of Working
Presented by Ravi Verma and Tony Lee, Professional Scrum
Trainers
You have probably heard the conventional wisdom that human
beings are hard-wired to resist change. And so, whenever someone introduces a
change to our life, our default auto-response is to resist, because we project
all our worst fears onto the change, before we even consider the merits of the
change. Scrum Masters, Scrum Coaches and Scrum Evangelists probably know this
resistance better than most. They find themselves getting stuck in a fight,
flight or freeze response in the face of resistance. In this Scrum Pulse
webcast, PSTs Ravi Verma and Tony Lee will share a simple, 9 step
approach that they have started using to integrate the Co-Active coaching model
into navigating resistance to Agile principles, values and practices. Ravi and
Tony will share how they started using this approach while guiding
organizations through their Agile adoption, and achieving dramatically better
results. Attendees will also learn about some resources they can use to
continue learning.

Giving High Impact
Feedback
Presented by Christa Kirby, Vice President, Talent
Development, Corporate Education Group
The foundation of all effective feedback is this:
the intent to improve performance. Without this intention behind it, feedback
can fall flat, becoming a missed opportunity for both growth and connection.
Transformative change cannot happen without feedback, so it is important to
create the conditions where the receiver can take it in, reflect on it, and
learn from it.
In this interactive webinar, we will explore:
• Key
components of high-impact feedback
• The
critical connection between feedback and employee engagement
• A
neuroscience perspective on feedback
• Emotions
as the gatekeepers to rational thought
• Concrete
ways to de-escalate emotion and refocus a feedback conversation

Unleash the Potential
of Team Capacity Planning
Presented by Todd Duchaine
Are you tired of your team feeling overwhelmed and
constantly struggling to meet deadlines? Do you wish there was a way to optimize
your team's productivity and ensure they're working on the right things at the
right time?
Join our webinar presented by Agile Coach Todd Duchaine on
Team Capacity Planning. We will dive deep into the art and science of team
capacity planning, unveiling a new formula that will revolutionize the way you
allocate resources. Gone are the days of guessing how many hours your team
should work. Instead, you'll discover a proven methodology to determine their
optimal capacity.
One common pitfall many teams face is a lack of visibility
into their time allocation. Todd has observed this firsthand in the numerous
teams he has worked with. In this webinar, he'll shed light on how teams often
overlook where they're truly spending their time, be it on feature work,
production fixes, or essential refactoring tasks. Understanding the true
breakdown of your team's efforts is crucial for maximizing efficiency and
ensuring sustainable growth.
Todd will challenge you to think beyond the immediate
demands of urgent tasks. By introducing a capacity allocation policy, you can
proactively define how you want your team to invest their time. Imagine having
a clear guideline that designates, for example, 65% to 70% of capacity for
feature work, 20% to 25% for production fixes, and a dedicated portion for
essential refactoring. This deliberate balance ensures that your team focuses
on what matters most and avoids being overwhelmed by the constant influx of
urgent requests.
Say goodbye to the tyranny of the urgent! Learn how to
establish a capacity allocation policy that empowers your team to make informed
decisions and prioritize their work effectively.
Todd will walk you through practical strategies to implement
this policy, empowering you to maintain a healthy application while still
delivering value through feature development.
Don't miss this golden opportunity to tap into the expertise
of a seasoned Agile coach. Join us for this game-changing webinar on Team
Capacity Planning and equip yourself with the knowledge and tools you need to
drive your team towards success.
Register now and be prepared to revolutionize your team's
productivity through effective capacity planning.
