"Global Scrum Gathering Paris 2013 will be a unique opportunity to gather Scrum practitioners and those interested in improving their project management practices. There are more and more success stories proving the positive impact of Scrum in various business areas -- not only IT -- allowing us to experience these various business’s standards, practices, and cultures. The culture of an organization is one of the key dimensions in understanding how to transform organizations into 'Agile organizations.'
Paris is a great place to talk about 'culture' as Paris is the great cultural capital, making it a great place to discover how culture may impact the Scrum community! We will examine how to help organizations be agile and use Scrum efficiently in each organization’s culture, as well as multicultural teams in off-shore projects, and multicultural teams in large organizations with stakeholders from different business areas and from different technical domains." -- Patrice Petit & Xavier Warzee, Global Scrum Gathering Paris Co-Chairs

Open Space Guidelines
Bring your topic to Open Space and you can run an informal session on any topic you’re passionate about.
How do I propose an Open Space session?
- Think of a topic
- Take an index card and a marker
- Write your topic at the top of the card
- Write your name below – so people know who’s running the session
- Post your topic on the Marketplace (sticky wall) picking a timeslot and location
Open Space runs by four simple organizing principles:
- Whoever comes is the right people
- Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
- Whenever it starts is the right time
- When it’s over it’s over
Use the Law of Two Feet to take responsibility for following your own passions. If you feel that you are not contributing or benefitting from a session, please feel free to move on to something else. Remember it’s self-organizing, so prepare to be surprised.
When: Daily from Monday - Wednesday
Want some help with specific challenges you have encountered on your way to a more Agile way of working? Come to the Coaches Clinic where you can speak one-on-one with an experienced Agile Coach. We can help you find the right coach to discuss technical practices, organizational change, Scrum, Agile Coaching as a career, and many other topics.
The Coaches Clinic will be open each morning before the first session, during breaks, and for an hour after conference sessions. You can make an appointment or just walk in. Look for the schedule board in the Clinic area. The Coaches Clinic is a service of the Certified Scrum Coach community.

Dan Mezick – “Tribal Learning”
When: Tuesday, September 24th – 11:00 – 12:30
Where: Auteuil & Bagatelle
The Agile journey may be best characterized as a tribal rite of passage. Those who are taking the next step always do so as a group. During the journey, all the participants share the same basic status. Successful participants find themselves in a new and very unfamiliar place. And lastly, anyone who wants to complete the journey must also be willing to leave many things behind.
· In tribal societies, passage rites from start to finish are led by a “master of ceremonies.”
· Is the modern journey into Agile actually a passage rite… for modern tribes?
· Is the ScrumMaster in fact the master of ceremonies in a modern rite of passage for teams and organizations?
In this session, together we explore the surprising answer. We also explore how to specifically leverage Open Space as a tool for helping to create authentic and lasting Agile adoptions.
Daniel Mezick is an authority on culture, self-management, and self-organizing teams. An expert on culture design and business agility, Dan’s client list includes Zappos Insights, CIGNA Insurance, and hundreds of smaller organizations.
Applying Agile practices since 2006 and coaching teams and organizations since 2008, Daniel is the author of “The Culture Game: Tools for the Agile Manager.” Describing 16 proven patterns of group-learning behavior derived from Agile, the book also provides a proven way to spread these learning patterns throughout the wider culture of your entire organization.
Daniel is a founder and executive coach at www.FreeStandingAgility.com, a team of Agile coaches based in Boston, MA, U.S. He is also the founder of www.AgileBoston.org, one of the largest Agile user groups in the U.S.

Dario Nardi – “Cultures, Brain, and Personalities – Insights for Teams”
When: Wednesday, September 25th – 15:30 – 17:00
Where: Auteuil & Bagatelle
How can we all better program together? Culture, cognition, and career choice all contribute to one’s brain development. And when we know how the brain works, our human OS, we have more leverage over ourselves.
In this lab, Dario Nardi studies people’s brain activity as they engage in various tasks, including socializing, creativity, and work. While we are equipped with a similar toolkit, as individuals we have favorite tools. Which tools we use – and how we utilize them together – depend on culture, personality, and career choice. Moreover, people who favor similar brain patterns seem to communicate and work well together. Thus, teams face extra challenges when they are composed of different cultures, personalities, and career skills. Fortunately, we can now assess how a person’s brain works and chart a team’s cognitive strengths and pitfalls. We can locate linkages to smooth teamwork and foster resonance.
Dario Nardi will provide an overview of key insights about teams and brains and offer some advice to help us get and stay on the same wavelength.
Dario Nardi, Ph.D., is a fellow at the University of California Los Angeles. From 1998 to 2011, he taught computing, complexity theory, group dynamics, and a blend of these: computer modeling and simulation of social systems. He has won teaching awards for “Innovative Use of Technology in the Classroom” and was named UCLA’s 2011 Distinguished Teacher of the Year. His academic background includes engineering, linguistics, and creative writing. Dario has been a Myers-Briggs personality type certified presenter, trainer, and author since 1994. His publications include Neuroscience of Personality: Brain-Savvy Insights, 8 Keys to Self-Leadership, 16 Personality Types: Descriptions for Self-Discovery, Quick Guide to the 16 Personality Types in Organizations and Character and Personality Type: Discovering Your Uniqueness. Dario is the founder and president of Radiance House, a books and media publishing company. For the past six years, Dario has conducted hands-on neuroimaging using EEG technology, with a focus on lines to personality, sociality, and skills development.

The SCRUM and the willpower: how neuroscience can boost your productivity |

|
Anna Obukhova Track: Empower Agile Culture with others cultures, domains, and approaches Room: Auteuil Type: - Level: ♥♥
|
There are a lot of evidences that Scrum improves the developer’s productivity. Yes, it works. But why does it work? I will describe the model of relationship between the willpower related brain metabolism on neurological level and the Scrum practices. Scrum addresses the productivity of the people’s brain using 3 different flows simultaneously. There are tips that make these productivity flows working or not. You can make Agile productive, you can have non-productive Agile. I will show you where the difference is. |
|
Timo Punkka Track: Applying an Agile Culture in other domains than IT Room: Bagatelle Type: Lecture Level: ♥
|
Agile methods are gaining foothold in embedded software development. Embedded software is not developed in isolation, but it has dependencies to hardware development. The system development is facing the demands of ever increasing amount of change and learning. Agile methods aim at helping in these challenges. This talk summarizes authors observations on hardware development teams using Scrum during the past 10 years. Teams have varied in terms of disciplines involved and collocation. Come to this session to get the practitioner’s view on using Scrum beyond embedded software development. |

Luis Castro Track: Managing Multicultural organizations Room: Trocadero/Tuileries Type: Lecture Level: ♥♥
|
A Canadian businessman goes to China to close a deal. He is having a very good meeting with the Chinese client, and at the end of the meeting he is asked about some details. He replies he has to go back to his office and talk to some of his peers to make a final decision. He never hears back from them. Why? In this session you’ll discover not only the answer to this question, but also the importance of culture when interpreting the values of the agile manifesto, and how, by taking culture into account, multicultural and geographically dispersed teams can avoid similar “unexplained” outcomes. |

This case study presentation will tell the story of Euromoney’s agile initiative, its successes, challenges, and lessons learned. It will focus in particular on the complex issues of: 1) dealing with very separate and distinct business customers with their own cultures, drivers, requirements, and budgets. 2) integrating remote off-shore third-party suppliers into the Agile process when they have different geographic and organisational cultures. 3) moving a traditional centralised IT function toward Agile from a culture of up-front planning, risk management, and traditional QA. |

We talk of Agile Methodologies as the sane way of developing quality software. But is the team equipped to work in an Agile environment? By equipped, I do not mean white boards, TV screens, good microphones, backlogs, etc. but the other important aspect of making happy and successful Agile Teams - MINDSET. One of the most critical attributes to a team's success yet the least talked about. According to a recent survey, out of the many failed Agile projects, two thirds attribute failure to integrate the right people or to teach a team-based culture. |

What happens when Confucius trying to translate the Scrum mechanics to German Culture and Journalist? This is a story about a Chinese SM working with a German Team and stakeholders editorial journalist as stakeholders. There are two cultures: Scrum and classical project management policy; Chinese and German; Software Developer and Journalist. No wonder that we have got Culture Shocks and Clashes again and again. But many things changed with the time, fusion, combination, integration, we are geared up towards our goal: to implement own team and project agile culture in using scrum framework. |

Scrum Transformation is an expensive venture. In today’s ROI-driven culture, decision-makers are always eager to see numbers and to understand both the cost and the estimated ROI of any change. Even if we succeed in selling Scrum to the organization, we need to prove that the benefits of Agile have been achieved for the project to be considered a great success. We will match the well-known expected benefits of Agile with metrics that will help companies both in forecasting and proving their achievements with the new methodology, so that the cost/benefit ratio can be clearly visualized. |

How to get rid of waterfall cultural influence while setting up a large distributed Scrum? Scrum is simple but seems not sufficient to address very large distributed Projects. Some companies are then trying to set up distributed Scrum within a strong waterfall, command and control culture How to switch from (false) impression of control to real trust and empowerment on large and exposed projects This Lecture will be based on feedback provided by 2 real cases: a good example which used largely Agile values and an example influenced by non-Agile culture that needed a strong refactoring |

Combat Agile is an application of military doctrine to the practice of Agile and Lean software development. Striking similarities exist between the U.S. Marine Corp methods for waging war and the Agile concepts of a self-organizing, adaptable team. Steve Johnson examines these parallels and adds his own observations from years of experience in the software development arena. Faithful reproduction of the "commander's intent" -- a military term focused on the end goal and providing authority to team members to deviate from plan when needed, is the key to running successful Agile teams -- whether in a supportive or non-supportive Agile organization. You may like these ideas or hate them, but you're sure to come away with material you can use with your current and future Agile teams. |

The adoption of Agile, Scrum, and other progressive practices is on the rise in France, one of the world’s largest economies. However, there are also many deep-seated factors that make the adoption of Agile values & practices particularly challenging. The verdict is open as to whether the economic and cultural drivers in France will continue to expand the footprint of Agile, or if the exodus of young people and inertia of legacy organizations will keep Agile in a niche. |

Now that your teams are working self-organized and deliver customer value each sprint, you understand that yearly performance reviews by the manager are not appropriate. Incentivizing with money may even be counter-productive. But raises are expected and HR wants to know from you who will get how much. This presentation will discuss how to account for team performance but also acknowledge individual contributions; how to achieve fairness in the distribution of available budget and how to reward rather than incentivize. |

The director of our IT consultancy company decided to drastically change the culture of our company. The command and control style didn’t make sense anymore for him. Together with a change agent he took the whole company on a journey towards an Agile culture. We changed our way of working, the recruitment process, the appraisal system… The journey was bumpy and we had forces fighting us from the inside and the outside. We learned, had fun and a lot of energy but the day came… Build up during 8 years and destroyed in one day.

Cultural change, often talked about, harder to implement. Is it even worth trying? Where to start? By focusing on value rather than talking about culture what seems murky at first becomes clear and resistance to change can be overcome. Gideon has personally applied change management principles to two large scale Scrum implementations in organizations that were reluctant to change. A quick walkthrough of change management principles, spiced up with some funny personal anecdotes and concrete tools and practices.

No doubt, culture is a complex as well as a powerful phenomenon. Part of its power stems from its invisibility: in every organisation culture sums up the natural way of how we do things around here. What happens...if we are keen to change this natural way? ...if we challenge the processes and daily routines that appear as a given? ...if we are even crazy enough to introduce Lean-Agile methods in order to improve these processes and routines? |

As long as there is no pill to change people’s mindset into an Agile mindset, Agile coaches have to work hard to deal with resistance during Agile transitions. As long as there is no truly believe that Agile will help and people are convinced that there is no need to do things differently, the transition to Agile will not fully succeed. This session is about how we can use simple and effective techniques from NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to become more open-minded. Because who open-minded is, stays open for options and who stays open for options, stays open for another way of working. |

Outsourcing and Scrum are powerful trends that work well separately. Temptation is often times to great and organizations jump in to the outsourcing boat in the attempt to expand/upgrade their Scrum teams, and here comes the third ingredient of the explosive mix: culture. In this workshop attendees will use the Schneider’s model to identify organization’s cultures. More importantly attendees will feel why is important to seek for a match between team’s cultures when working in outsourced Scrum teams. |

Scrum is by far the most widespread Agile method within the world of IT. The role of the ScrumMaster is supposed to contribute significantly to success. But "servant leadership" means leading without guaranteed power by means of org charts. This session will dive deep on the art of leading as a servant, and on how the ScrumMaster can become a source of credible leadership. We will encounter the leader as change agent as driver for organizations. the And we may finally even ask, if "servant leadership" is a mission of teams. |

Are you tasked to do more with less? Is your organization held back with inefficiency? How can organizations achieve more results for the same cost? The answers lie in applying Agile methodologies in domains other than IT to improve work team productivity, which also helps transform the overall organizational culture. This occurs because Agile methodologies create the necessary social constructs and reshape the social interactions critical to successful teams. Moreover, savvy business leaders can leverage Agile methodologies and positively influence these social elements to magnify the gains. |

Dajo Breddels Track: Expanding an Agile Culture in a Complex World Room: Vendome Type: Workshop Level: ♥♥♥ |
A lot of organizations fall back to old behavior after the Agile Coach leaves. This is because it’s much harder to implement the Agile mind-set than it is to tell people about processes, artifacts, and events. This mind-set is a system of specific values. Spiral Dynamics is addressing these value systems and gives tools how to assess and change them. During this session you will learn how to discover the dominant values in organizations and how to transform them using the natural flow of value system evolution. At the end you will have a list of concrete steps and actions you can use. |

Resolve conflict. How? We examine a proven process to greatly enhance listening, understanding and empathy. We look at rational and irrational views and the distinction between the automatic operations of the fast subconscious mind and the controlled operations of the slow conscious mind. More sprint planning sessions result in the amount of work being underestimated than being overestimated. Why? The latest research on human decision making processes can help. How are habits born and why they so hard to change? Forming new habits is the very essence of improving agility. |

Barbarians at the gate - Scrum meets product management and the PMO |
|
|
Dr. Jarno Vähäniitty, Santeri Korri Track: Emerging Agile Culture Room: Pereire Type: Workshop Level: ♥
|
The product backlog is usually described as a list of work items. This hides many of the planning mechanisms in Scrum, such as planning horizons, progressive refinement and just-in-time elaboration, and can lead product management and development to view each other as "barbarians at the gate," attempting to seize areas where they seem to lack training, background and competence. To overcome this culture clash, this workshop explores how the traditional product management duties of release planning, roadmapping and portfolio management fit with Scrum. |

Many organizations are based on a hierarchical bureaucracy, where functional managers direct workers, relay commands and report on progress. This approach is not compatible with much twenty-first century work, which is knowledge based and best carried out in self-organized teams.

How can you reduce your risk during an enterprise Agile adoption? The key is focusing on parallel implementations in domains other than IT. Work teams beyond software development can significantly benefit from the Scrum framework in their operational efforts, and these efforts serve to create shared understanding, buy-in and collaboration during enterprise agile adoption. Scrum in these non-IT areas yield a familiar way for the business teams to function and interface with technology. Moreover, these non-IT teams experienced the productivity gains and became believers in the Scrum framework. |

Building software in sprints requires different skills from those used in traditional software development. When done correctly, Scrum and the practices of Extreme Programming (XP), such as continuous integration, pair programming, emergent design, test driven development, and refactoring let development teams build quality software more rapidly and with fewer defects. In this session, we look at the key developer practices for successfully implementing Scrum, why they work, and how to use them effectively. |

If you give kids broccoli and tell them it is good for their health. Most likely, you will still get a no. Little kids don't care about being healthy. Broccoli principles applies to Agile adoption as well. Simply telling and pushing new ideas and practices don't help very much because it is about changing people's mindset and way of thinking. One key factor for sustainable adoption is to light the desire to learn, from individual, team, to organization level. Rather than being pushed a lot of ideas, teams will come for help and guidance, to pull idea from coach then apply in their context. |

"Us and Them" culture is deeply engrained in our organisations and can easily derail our efforts to become Agile by hindering cross functional collaboration. If we are to deliver software effectively we must find ways that change the mindset from one of blame to one where fellowship is the norm.

Raj Mudhar, Catherine Louis Track: Emerging Agile Culture, Managing Multicultural organizations, Expanding an Agile Culture in a Complex World Room: Luxembourg Type: Workshop Level: ♥♥ |
In large global organizations where the size of the product exceeds what a single Scrum team can deliver, we think through the best way to organize teams and work. In this hands-on workshop, we navigate through the process of developing & assessing large organizations using Lego. Unlike traditional paper-based “box and line” org charts, these models are physical, are built collaboratively, and provide insights into the psychology of the organization and its people. At Agile2012, this session was standing-room-only! Read about it on InfoQ here: http://tiny.cc/bs1duw |

If you are part of a self-organized team, how can leadership styles and management styles be an asset to you? Do you want to discover, great collaboration techniques that are usually only taught to managers? First, based on movie extracts of the epic Star Wars, we will discover different styles. Then, through intensive role play, you will learn, through practice, how to use these styles and how to use them appropriately according to a person and a context. Although popcorn won't be served, you'll have the occasion to be the actors of this session! You will be coached by Yoda and Darth Vador. |

There are team situations where everything just seems to flow well and others where things suddenly fall apart. What makes these situations different? The social aspects of the brain have a huge influence on how teams work. In this workshop we explore different team situations that are brain-friendly and others which are not, so that we can start to understand the team dynamics from the brain's perspective. By joining this workshop you get concrete ideas on what to pay attention to when working with teams that will help the team to be much more effective. |

Tribal Learning
The Agile journey may be best characterized as a tribal rite of passage. Those who are taking the next step always do so as a group. During the journey, all the participants share the same basic status. Successful participants find themselves in a new and very unfamiliar place. And lastly, anyone who wants to complete the journey must also be willing to leave many things behind.
-
In tribal societies, passage rites from start to finish are led by a “master of ceremonies.”
-
Is the modern journey into agile actually a passage rite… for modern tribes?
-
Is the Scrum Master in fact the master of ceremonies in a modern rite of passage for teams and organizations?
In this session, together we explore the surprising answer. We also explore how to specifically leverage Open Space as a tool for helping to create authentic and lasting Agile adoptions.

Cultures, Brain, and Personalities – Insights for Teams
How can we all better program together? Culture, cognition, and career choice all contribute to one’s brain development. And when we know how the brain works, our human OS, we have more leverage over ourselves.
In this lab, Dario Nardi studies people’s brain activity as they engage in various tasks, including socializing, creativity, and work. While we are equipped with a similar toolkit, as individuals we have favorite tools. Which tools we use – and how we utilize them together – depend on culture, personality, and career choice. Moreover, people who favor similar brain patterns seem to communicate and work well together. Thus, teams face extra challenges when they are composed of different cultures, personalities, and career skills. Fortunately, we can now assess how a person’s brain works and chart a team’s cognitive strengths and pitfalls. We can locate linkages to smooth teamwork and foster resonance.
Dario Nardi will provide an overview of key insights about teams and brains and offer some advice to help us get and stay on the same wavelength.

The weather in September is still pleasant but starts to get a little cooler (21 C down to 12 C, 69 to 54F). You won't find sunshine every day though, so be prepared for days when it could be overcast with a little rain.
