Connect to Our Craft

10 minutes to go around the room and share something we learned or did in the last month.

• Richard – I was reminded that when we come together and use our “Agile tools”, we can make amazing progress. This power was shown by our Saturday Board meeting
• Ronica – I got to work with a bunch of business leaders – Did a mash up of 59 minute scrum and  – never talk more than 10 minutes before having people do stuff. Amazing to see senior leaders willing to play games
• Kim – Cobol programmers were willing to do skits and roleplaying
• Trevor – Getting this group letting me do the four Ls for our strategy session. And my boss said today that I’m the most agile person he knows.
• Jen – I have a great deal of patience for any type of personality. I had a 20 minute Open Questions training this week. I’m counting that as a moment of growth for me.
• Lori – It’s different communicating at an organizational level on the value of Agility. I was successful at getting my leadership to sponsor MHA! Learning to speak executive language has helped – how to quantify stuff that I have passion for.
• Christen – I studied to pass the LPM enablement for 5.0. There is a lot of content that I’m overwhelmed by. I just learned something new today – networking (Ronica can help

5. New Business
   1. Carol Chen decision – last week of April or first week of May 
   2. Brad Swanson is interested in starting up new SIG/Meetup focused on “Agile Executives”.  His intent is to start up an “exclusive” group of execs. Maybe making it a bi-monthly cadence.  Question – Can we add a new Meetup to our existing Meetup platform or would we need to add another sub-domain?
      • Exclusive will make this trickier, so it will not be able to be added to the main Meetup
      • Jen is creating a card to look into Meetup and what we are spending/allocating
        • https://www.meetup.com/Agile-Denver1/manage/
