There will be no marketing of anything whatsoever on this call. The
intent is to offer a gift, to folks here who are skilled in OST,
folks who may not have a programming/IT/software/Agile background. <br>
<br>
If there is enough interest from the OST community, I am ready,
willing and able to arrange and conduct a short, structured phone
conference to address these topics and facilitate some lively
dialogue and Q&A around these topics.<br>
<br>
The date and time for the proposes conference call is: <br>
Monday, October 14 at 7PM EST <br>
<br>
Here is a starting agenda:<br>
<br>
1/ What is Agile? What is Agile coaching?<br>
2/ What are some of the special problems with Agile coaching and
Agile adoptions?<br>
3/ How can Open Space help?<br>
4/ Can Open Space facilitators can be Agile coaches? Is this really
possible? If so, what extra stuff do they need to know?<br>
5/ What is Open Agile Adoption, and why do I care? <br>
6/ What next steps can I take to learn more about the Agile
opportunity?<br>
<br>
To signal interest:<br>
<br>
