Agile foundations team session

Before the session

Read Days 1, 4 and 10 (about five minutes each), or Module 1 on the cheat sheet.

The 30 minutes

1. 0–5 minOpen

   Quick round: one regular meeting you'd keep and one you'd happily drop.

2. 5–15 minDiscuss three days
   • Day 1: Agile that ships. Not Agile that meets.What did a customer actually get from us in the last fortnight, and how would we know?
   • Day 4: Fit the method to the work.How does our work really arrive: planned, unpredictable, or a mix of both?
   • Day 10: Small team. Light process.Which parts of our current process help us, and which could we drop tomorrow?
3. 15–25 minExercise: Keep or drop

   List every recurring meeting, report and ritual the team has. For each one, ask what decision it helps us make. Mark it keep, change or drop.

4. 25–30 minAction for the week

   The team drops or shortens one item from the drop column this week, and each person notes what, if anything, they missed.

   Agree the team rule: “We measure what shipped.”
