Lightning talk at Agile Cambridge 2012 on Personal Discipline through kanban

Rachel is the co-author of Agile Coaching, and talked a lot about trust. What is trust, how do we trust people (both socially and in the work environment), and how… Continue

I left with laptop, plan of the sessions I ideally wanted to achieve, and the bits for my lightning talk.



I arrived at Murray Edwards College around 8.30, and found those of my colleagues (Beth Jones and Conny Brunkvist) who were also attending. Also… Continue
