The Heart of Agile, created by Alistair Cockburn (one of the authors of the Agile Manifesto), boils decades of agile practice down to four simple imperatives: Collaborate, Deliver, Reflect, Improve.
The Coffee Corner is a relaxed Zoom gathering where practitioners come together to explore what those four moves look like in real teams, projects, and organizations.
In our recent sessions we’ve learned that people appreciate the openness of an informal conversation, and that a little bit of structure helps the discussion land more clearly.
For this Coffee Corner we’ll keep the casual, welcoming vibe, while adding some light scaffolding:
- Brief check‑ins and topic gathering from everyone who wants to contribute
- Short, focused rounds of conversation around the topics with the most energy in the room
- A quick “harvest” of key insights, questions, and experiments to try before the next Coffee Corner
Alistair Cockburn will be with us again to join the conversation, offer questions, and share stories from his work with teams around the world.
This Coffee Corner is for you if you’d like a low‑pressure space to:
- Compare notes with peers on how you and your teams are actually working today
- Connect the Heart of Agile ideas to your current challenges
- Expect to come away with at least one new idea or perspective that’s relevant to your own context
Bring your coffee (or your favorite beverage), a real situation from your work, and your curiosity.
