Author Evening: The Dream Team Nightmare by Portia Tung

https://a248.e.akamai.net/secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/2/a/600_457680554.jpeg

Join us for a fun and interactive reading of the first ever Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Agile business novel, The Dream Team Nightmare, with author Portia Tung herself!

This unique session is split into two halves. We'll set off on an Agile Adventure by reading parts of the book as a group. Each decision point in the novel can be a conversation trigger about what we, as individual readers/coaches, would do were we in the same situation and read on to discover what actually happens in the book as a result of the choices we make.

The second half of the session will consist of an interactive short talk by Portia who'll share her approach for getting a first novel written and published. Participants will also get a chance to explore ideas they want to write about as well as do a spot of facilitated fiction writing if they want to.

If you can't wait, we suggest you get a head start on your Agile Adventure and reach at least two different endings in The Dream Team Nightmare before coming to play at the book club!

You can find the book on Amazon here (http://amzn.to/2iN4igq)

Amazon Description

This first-ever interactive Agile Adventure is the gripping tale of an experienced team struggling with agile adoption. In this unique mashup of a business novel written in the gamebook format, you'll overcome common yet daunting challenges that come from using agile methods. As Jim, the agile coach, you'll learn to apply a range of thinking tools and techniques to real-life problems faced by teams and organizations. Find out what really works and what fails miserably from the consequences of your choices. And, unlike in the real world, if at first you don't succeed, you can make different choices until you get things right.
