Individuals and Interactions

What patterns of behaviour do you see you in your organization? Your team? How are problems identified, created and resolved?

The agile manifesto favours Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools, yet much of the discussion within teams is stuck on the latter.

In this session, we'll be exploring models, exercises and techniques that help us understand how individuals and teams interact, be an effective change agent and build better teams and working environments.
