Everyone loves meetings, right? Meetings aren't inherently bad, but they have the stigma of interrupting and delaying work. In Agile, meetings are part of the work. Therefore, each meeting in an Agile framework has a specific purpose, agenda, attendees, and expected outcomes. Other meetings not described or suggested by a framework MAY OR MAY NOT be important to accomplishing work. Joining meetings in which you are not required MAY OR MAY NOT be valuable to you and the other participants. Attend meetings judiciously. Add "extra" meetings judiciously. ALWAYS have an agenda and a timebox, and come away with action items. Learn more about meetings here.

What is Mission Impact? How can we use it to determine the importance of the work we do? When every requirement is critical, it can be difficult to know what to do first. There is a common misconception that design and development are at odds. One prioritizes understanding and the other prioritizes solutioning. Lean, agile, and human-centered design philosophies are meant to be complementary approaches to getting work done. During this three-hour course, co-facilitated by the CCSQ Lean-Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) and the Human-Centered Design Center of Excellence (HCD CoE), attendees will discuss and explore how teams can thoughtfully integrate design and development needs, share responsibility, and achieve a balanced approach to delivery.
