When I first met the (fledgling, at that time) Agile community, Thomas, it was because they'd asked me to introduce OS as a track in their first annual conference (2002).  When I showed up, they explained to me what Agile was.  I just started laughing. "Guys," I said, "You do realize that you're making software in Open Space!"  My short explanation of that characterization is that in both Agile and OS, "We put all the most important stuff on the wall.  And then we get it done."

Fast forward to 2017, Mike Beedle, one of the original co-authors of the Agile Manifesto (agilemanifesto.org<https://url6.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1ipzfr-0007ov-62&i=57e1b682&c=lSRuv-CPdFOu647R2BmTpgmYMSIfMXK_bgqKqYblfB8dVPG0sSEz5Duq1rTUez6V5K9qH-r1CfxfQAUuiGrdKzUfqiFKm11OZ-8ovn80CSBn1UrJ_2m2atvfVp4N35nOE1kFf11f6gLFM518yoajZGPlqPI-CmTF1LUVX0fSzIFP1fsfC68ZNxyovU11OwvHxopFzuKZ5vWHI_wuexcK4Gs3OytaTpIMjm57-gI-H8w>), launched a framework for (whole) Business or Enterprise Agility.  The foundation of that is an adapted "Business Model Canvas."  Mike and I used to muse about whether the 9-15 boxes on those canvases were so many small open spaces (on important dimensions of the work, or if it was really one big open space with a finite number of predictable tracks of work (e.g. purpose, customer, metrics, team practices, resources, governance, value delivery, and so on).  Either way, we always agreed that Mike's Enterprise Scrum canvas-based framework was surely a form of Ongoing Open Space.

Since then, in practice, I've found that following an OS meeting with work in an Enterprise Scrum canvas, the canvas being a way to keep the marketplace open and loosely organized going forward, is a somewhat more rigorous but also natural enough way to support "keeping the work going" after the OS.

Overall, what I like about the pairing of OS and Agile approaches is this:  The strong invitation, engagement, alignment that arises so quickly and easily in OS doesn't automatically lead into rigorous action, if the organization doesn't already have that rigor active in itself.  At the same time, Agile approaches bring an easy, natural rigor to work, but don't necessarily invite, engage and align.  Imposed, and Too Narrow (closed), understanding of Agile, Value and Transformation too often have Agile teams working very rigorously but not as smart and aligned as they really want/need to be.

Some combination of open (space) invitation and operational (agile) rigor, however, in the same/shared spirit of self-organization, is my favorite way to play these days.

Dear friends in Open Space
I had an interesting meeting today with a person in a large IT company and I was reminded about this video, I think I shared it here before but it’s worth watching again – I noticed! This link leads to the full 25 min video, about the Agile Culture in Spotify company. There are shorter versions too, but I recommend the full if you are really interested. Lots of good stuff and interesting to understanding more about this approach and how it can be used in a healthy way (as it sounds). I know it can also be ”mis-used” just like OST.

We had some great conversations and areas of collaboration we will explore bringing OST and GC into that company.
Wishing you lots of open space for fun during the coming weekend
