It's organizers encourage all conference participants to offer and schedule ad hoc sessions throughout the conference week. Many other groups have used open space principles to guide their Agile IT work.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm also familiar with an Agile coach who has organized Open Space events to launch new projects and teams. </div><div><br></div><div>I have not heard of any companies that have embraced both Agile and Open Space as guides for working. As a set of practices Agile and Open Space are related through their common support of work accomplished through self-organizing groups, their recognition of the role of emergence in complex systems/situations, and encouragement for finding ways to tap the creative potential inherent in collaborative work. Seems as though it could be a match made in heaven for your workplace. Please keep us posted on how it goes! </div><div><br></div><div>And if you'd like to discuss this more off-list, I'd be happy to join you. </div><div><br></div><div>Diana</div><div>member, Agile Alliance board of directors, 2008-current</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
