Open Tech Calendar

Come along to Agile Sheffield and pitch your retrospective techniques to our agile dragons and audience!

Agile Dragons’ Den

• Have a favourite technique for team retrospectives?

• Got an idea for helping teams to find how to improve?

• Found a way to help teams work through their challenges?

Then come along to Agile Sheffield and pitch your retrospective techniques to our agile dragons and audience!

At this month’s Agile Sheffield we’re playing Agile Dragons’ Den – Retro Retrospectives.

We chose this topic based on your feedback from Agile Room 101 and that we’ve not covered retrospectives in detail.

Fancy pitching a Retro Retrospective idea?

If you’ve got a great retrospective technique that you use, have been developing or you have one that you’d like to fine tune, bring it along to our Agile Dragons’ Den.

We’ll give you about 5 minutes on stage to sell your idea – how it’s supposed to work, the benefits and how it actually works (if you’ve been brave enough to try it!). To help sell it, we’ll need a picture/photo/illustration for the big screen. It doesn't have to be one you invented, there are loads of good ideas out there and we’re interested in seeing how people get the most out of ideas, as well as developing their own.

Then our Agile Dragons and audience members will get an opportunity to ask a few questions. Based on your pitch, our dragons and audience will decide on whether to INVEST!*

Don’t worry, it’s not that daunting! We’re a really supportive bunch and we love to learn and share techniques for building better agile teams. If you’ve never spoken at a meetup before, this is a great opportunity and you don’t have to be onstage for too long!

Timings
