The Future of Work Scotland team are excited to be supporting the Agile20reflect festival with a look at the "Future of Agile"

This session will see four of our past guest speakers return to engage in a lively debate on where Agile goes from here. What could the future hold?

Come join us in 2021 and here the thoughts of four respected Agile thought leaders.

Our panel will include:

Daniel Vacanti:

Dan is a 25-plus year software industry veteran who has spent most of his career focusing on Lean and Agile practices.

In 2007, he helped to develop the Kanban Method for knowledge work and managed the world’s first project implementation of Kanban that year. He has been conducting Lean-Agile training, coaching, and consulting ever since. In 2011 he founded ActionableAgileTM (previously Corporate Kanban) which provides industry-leading predictive analytics tools and services organizations that utilize Lean-Agile practices.

In 2015 he published his book, “Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability”, which is the definitive guide to flow-based metrics and analytics. In 2017, he helped to develop the “Professional Scrum with Kanban” class with Scrum.org. Daniel holds an M.B.A. and regularly teaches a class on lean principles for software management at the University of California Berkeley.

Dan joined us in Aug 2020 for his brilliant session on estimation, "When will it be done?". We are big fans of Dan and super excited that he will be joining this discussion.

Johanna Rothman:

Johanna is a speaker, consultant and author of many books including managing product development and From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams: Collaborate to Deliver (with Mark Kilby). Johanna joined us in April 2020 alongside Mark to share her insights on going from co-located to dispersed teams.

Johann is known as the “Pragmatic Manager" and provides frank advice for your tough problems. She helps leaders and teams see problems and resolve risks and manage their product development. We love hearing Johanna's insights and are delighted to welcome her back!

Lyssa Adkins:

Lyssa has not previously been a guest speaker with us but she really needs little introduction. A recognised coach, facilitator, teacher and inspirer.

To quote Lyssa "I believe that Agile is a brilliant, emergent response to help us thrive in our ever-increasingly complex, changeable and interconnected world. My current focus is coaching Leadership Teams and Boards of Directors to take up the Agile transformation that is theirs to do -- on both a personal and group level. For many years I have been a passionate contributor to the discipline and profession of Agile Coaching and have trained thousands of agilists in the knowledge, skills, and mindsets needed to coach teams and organizations to get full benefits of Agile"

Lyssa is of course the author of Coaching Agile Teams which is still a best seller 10 years later. We are thrilled that she has agreed to join our panel discussion and share her thoughts with our community.

Tobias Mayer:

Tobias joined us for a brilliant session in October 2020 where he facilitated a discussion on "The Now of Work" amidst the challenges of the global pandemic and all the upheaval it brought for our work and lives.

Tobias Mayer is an explorer of human relationships, writer, mentor, teacher and speaker. He is committed to the liberation of the corporate workplace, and to that end, spends a lot of time thinking, talking and writing on personal responsibility, grassroots initiative and confronting the status quo. Tobias is the author of the 2013 book 'The People's Scrum', and the upcoming audiobook 'The State of Work'.

Scottish BAME Career Progression and in collaboration with Agile20Reflect Festival bring you a meet up all around Imposter Syndrome. You know, when you feel that everyone else knows more than you, when you feel that you don't deserve to be there.

We have the fantastic Scott Sievwright and Sathpal Singh as our guest speakers.

Come lets talk about Imposter Syndrome...... Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which one doubts one's accomplishments and has a persistent internalised fear of being exposed as a "fraud". Despite external evidence of their competence, those experiencing this phenomenon remain convinced that they are frauds, and do not deserve all they have achieved. Individuals with impostorism incorrectly attribute their success to luck, or interpret it as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent than they perceive themselves to be.

While early research focused on the prevalence among high-achieving women, impostor syndrome has been recognised to affect both men and women equally In a short presentation and then a discussion Scott will discuss the general topic of Imposter Syndrome, what the research says and what the implications are for how we help, coach and support ourselves and others.

Scott will discuss his own journey with Imposter syndrome and discuss how this has effected him personally. In this fascinating topic the more your realise how widespread self belief this is the more you can overcome its debilitating effects and move forward.

Sath will share his inspiring story from his BAME background, his ambition and how he overcame the imposter in him. We'll be looking to learn from his successes, trials and tribulations from his start as an engineer to leading and transforming large global brands.

Agenda
* Virtual drinks and short networking
* Introduction to the Group
* Scott Sievwright
* Sathpal Singh
* Closing comments

We'll also take questions as usual at the end of each talk.

We are on the brink of an age of abundance. It may not seem so in this Covid Climate Changing year of 2021, but six new technologies are accelerating faster than any disease. Indeed the next decade will see a step-change in our lives that only the most Agile of us can begin to grasp. Where we’re going … we won’t need roads.
In this session we’ll explore a vision of the future informed by the confluence of these technologies; fusion energy, 3D-printed-everything, algaculture, augmented reality, life-extension, and quantum intelligence.
Responding to change is the fourth value of the Agile Manifesto. Just one of these technologies is enough to change the world faster than we can possibly anticipate. The six together will make it over until even the millennials among us will struggle to cope. And yet we must cope, so this session will also cover a fundamental value the Agile Manifesto left out.
