Our speakers will walk through their generic and comprehensive Practice Playbook that could be used by anyone looking to set up or mature a practice/chapter. The speakers will cover the following areas:

Agile Practice Playbook – The context

This playbook is a live reference for new adopters of agile chapters / practices, as well as existing practices to mature their ways of working, and it is intended to speak to leaders (tribe, product, agile, tech, practice, chapter leaders etc.), practitioners, coaches, People & Culture, and the team.
