Lean Coffee — Open Conversations, Shared Learning

Description:
Join us for an open, collaborative Lean Coffee session — where you set the agenda.

Lean Coffee is a simple but powerful format: participants suggest topics, vote on what’s most important, and then engage in time-boxed discussions that keep conversations focused and insights flowing. No slides. No lectures. Just meaningful, peer-driven dialogue.
You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, new connections, and insights you can apply immediately.

Event Flow
1. Brief introductions
2. Suggest topics, vote, and prioritize
3. Timeboxed group discussion cycles
4. Share key takeaways

Bring your curiosity, questions, and a willingness to engage — the conversation starts with you. ☕

It’s a great way to:
✅ Connect with other Agile-minded peers
💡 Explore real-world challenges and share practical experiences
🎯 Leave with new perspectives and actionable ideas

Whether you’re a Scrum Master, Product Owner, Agile Coach, or just curious about Agile ways of working, you’ll find value in the dialogue.

Agile & Lean Leaders:
We are a peer community of senior technology leaders—spanning product, operations, agile coaching, and engineering leadership—who seek to learn, grow, and exchange ideas beyond our day-to-day environments. Our members are Directors to C-level, all leading technology and software teams in complex, fast-moving organizations who value people over things.
As Agile & Lean Leaders, we embrace both meanings of the term:

• Leaders who apply Agile and Lean principles to guide teams and organizations through change with adaptability, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
• Leaders who shape the future of Agile & Lean leadership itself—mentors, thought leaders, and contributors to the evolving body of knowledge.

Our purpose is to:

• Connect with other senior technology leaders who navigate similar strategic and executive challenges.
• Learn from diverse perspectives—drawing on Agile, Lean, and other leadership models to tackle the real-world problems we face.
• Advance leadership thinking by developing, sharing, and potentially publishing new insights and strategies.
• Support each other as mindful, intentional professionals, leading with knowledge, calm, and clarity in high-stakes environments.
• Explore Lean principles alongside Agile to drive efficiency, eliminate waste, and improve flow in technology-driven organizations.

By engaging with this group, we strengthen our ability to lead transformational change, influence at the executive level, and shape the future of Agile and Lean leadership in technology.
