Dynamic Governance Workshop

Dynamic Governance: A Method for Agile Organizations

Learn a simple process you can use immediately to tighten up your sprint planning meetings and your retrospectives. Learn also about a new strategy to scale up Scrum to an entire company – even outside the software development area. The tool is Dynamic Governance (DG), a method of governance, decision-making, and project management, developed in the Netherlands based on cybernetics and systems theory. A key innovation is its structural approach to improving communication and decision-making. DG supports the broad implementation of Agile principles. This mini-workshop will introduce you to the principles of DG, and give you hands-on practice with a new decision-making method.
