Agenda: + 6:30 - Pizza and Social Time + 7:00 - Announcements + 7:10 - Main Event: Agile Team Recipes + 8:15 - Retrospective + 8:30 - Adjourn Intro: Everything we do is unique, even the daily routine and mundane activities. Each activity influenced by the people around us, their past experience, our physical and mental states, and the conditions of our surroundings. Work is no different. In this talk, we’ll be Chefs! We’ll review the fundamental Scrum ingredients to examine how they influence our team dynamics and ask what more should we be doing. The goal will be to build awareness and improve our response to the constant change surrounding us in a group exercise that can be brought back to your teams.
