Not open - Rescuing the Corporate Exhausted HeroLink visible for attendees
Exhausted? Tired? Stuck? Feeling helpless? This is the webinar for you! We will work on skills to help you elevate your game and find the balance
A Corporate Exhausted Hero is a leader of a growing organization that is trying to do it all, and probably not doing any of it well. And through massive change and growth over the last few years, there are more exhausted heroes than ever before! We need to elevate these leaders from firefighters to fire chiefs. It starts with understanding that our jobs should change, not grow, to be successful. From the ForbesBooks published book, Rescuing the Corporate Exhausted Hero, come hear how you reposition your leadership and avoid exhaustion.

- Embracing our Imposter Syndrome with Kulsoom PervezLink visible for attendees
Imposter Syndrome is something a lot of us experience. Over the years, I have learned that rather than denying or fighting it, embracing it and working around it has allowed me to grow and come out of my comfort zone without wasting my precious energy. Thus, embrace your imposter syndrome and work around it to unlock your full potential.

- Agile Denver Kanban Community of PracticeLink visible for attendees
What is a Community of Practice?
A Community of Practice develops over time, with committed members engaging in many “informal conversations” about a shared domain of interest. This creates a set of cases and stories that become a shared repertoire for their practice, whether they realize it or not. To learn a bit more about the concept of a “Community of Practice”, check out this link https://bit.ly/2YTyyZh.What is the Agile Denver Kanban CoP?
The Agile Denver Kanban CoP is a long-running meetup that started in June of 2011. We are a “Community of Practice”, where core members, who are practitioners, have regularly engaged with each other over several years.
Our meetups generally consist of us sharing our personal experiences and stories, learning from each other more about how to apply lean thinking, lean management (leadership), and agile principles, along with pull, flow, kanban, and system thinking concepts.
Our specific focus is on how to catalyze and manage change, improve business workflow processes, and predictably forecast and answer the question “When will it be done?” We are associated with the broader Agile Denver group, which has several other “special interest groups” (SIGs) associated with it, of which we are one. And we are also connected with the U.S. and global Lean Kanban community.Agile Denver Kanban CoP Meetup Events
Starting from 2024, we’ve updated our schedule to better accommodate our community. We host two different types of meetups: Public Meetups and Core Member Meetups.Public Meetups
These will now be held on the 3rd Thursday of the month on a quarterly basis. Public meetups are open to everyone and feature presentations on various topics where attendees can interact, engage, and ask questions:- January: An introduction/primer to Lean Kanban
- April: A practical session running the Featureban game online to experience and learn more about Kanban
- July: A deep dive into flow-based metrics and cumulative flow diagrams
- October: A session focused on using metrics for forecasting and estimation. We’ll discuss probabilistic forecasting and explore some tools that can assist with this.
Core Member Meetups
- These will now be held every month on the 1st Thursday.
Core Member Meetups are smaller gatherings exclusively for a limited number of active core members, designed for deeper discussions and two-way interactions.
If you’re interested in becoming a core member to engage in these smaller interactions, we encourage you to demonstrate commitment through regular attendance at our public meetups and interaction with core members in between. For more information on becoming a core member, feel free to reach out on the #leankanban channel in Agile Denver Slack, and connect with the organizers or other core members.
We look forward to seeing you at our meetups! Make sure to check back frequently for updates, posted comments and questions, and announcements as our meetup dates approach each month.
Take care,
Ed Schaefer, Trevor Peterson and John Bannister - Test-Driven Development in the Larger Context: TDD & ATDD PMIs Disciplined AgileLink visible for attendees
Scott L. Bain
Senior Technical Trainer at PMI
"Test-Driven Development" was originally suggested by Ward Cunningham in the mid 1900's as a way for developers to generate code from unit tests. In the ensuing years it has also been suggested that organizations can drive requirements into development by writing acceptance tests to guide the process. Which of these should we call "TDD"? Which, if either, is more important, or should take precedence in terms of our attention and allocation of resources? Should we do them both? can they work together? How does ether relate to traditional testing?
This presentation will clarify the relationship between these two processes, how they are different, how they are the same, and most importantly how they can work together synergistically. We will demonstrate how TDD can strengthen any agile process. Along the way you will learn why you should become "test driven", what that means, and a powerful way to do it.
TDD is a very powerful paradigm for software development from business prioritization to requirements analysis through product design to working code. Join us and learn how it works, and where you fit into the process.If you would like to be a future speaker for Agile Boulder, please use this Submission Form.
