Our **Agile & Scaled-Value Project Management Meetup** hour in **December 2025** is scheduled for **Thursday, December 11th, 2025.**
Time: **12:00pm PT/ 2:00pm CT/ 3:00pm ET**
Topic: **"Listen, Build, Adapt: Improv Practices for Agile Teams"**
Our Guest Speaker: **[Kristian Ruggieri](linkedin.com/in/kristianruggieri)**

**An introduction to the meetup:**
**Learn agile mindsets by doing, not reading.**
In this **interactive virtual workshop,** you'll **practice the core skills** that **make** **agile teams effective: deep listening, collaborative building through “Yes, And”,** and **real-time adaptability.** Through **applied improv exercises,** you'll **build behaviors** you can **use immediately** in **sprint planning, stakeholder conversations,** and **team collaboration.** Walk away with **three takeaways grounded** in the **Agile Manifesto** and **hands-on experience** applying them.

**Takeaways:**
Participants will **develop three core agile mindsets through applied improv:**
**1\. Listening is your most powerful tool**
*Agile value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools*
**2\. "Yes\, And" unlocks collaboration**
*Agile value: Customer collaboration over contract negotiation*
**3\. Adaptability comes from practice**
*Agile value: Responding to change over following a plan*

**Our Speaker:**
**[Kristian](linkedin.com/in/kristianruggieri)**[ ](linkedin.com/in/kristianruggieri)has been **performing improv for over 20 years** and **teaching applied improvisation for 8 years.** She **specializes** in **helping product managers and technical teams** build the **listening, collaboration, and adaptability skills** that make **agile frameworks actually work.** Kristian's **facilitation style** is **engaging, accessible,** and **grounded** **in** **adult learning principles—participants leave** with **practical tools** they can **use immediately.**
