Agile Pain Relief is proud to be the Platinum sponsor for Gatineau Ottawa Agile Tour 2014. On November 24th, an expected 200+ Scrum and Agile professionals will gather in Gatineau for a one day conference that will feature two keynote speakers, 16 professional presentations, and coaches clinic among the opportunities. The conference’s keynote speakers this year will be Christopher Avery and Richard Cheng. Christopher is a sought-after speaker, author, and business advisor on responsible leadership, teamwork, and agile change for companies like GAP, Wells Fargo, and eBay, known for his cutting-edge work to demystify and then develop practical team leadership skills. And Richard is a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) and Project Management Professional (PMP) with deep expertise in bringing Agile to commercial, non-profit, and Federal clients. Mark Levison will be one of 16 additional high-quality featured presentations, where he will present his High Performance Teams Game. As a Coach and a Team Member, I sometimes come across teams that don’t seem to be able to achieve high performance, and the reasons why aren’t apparent. This can be frustrating for everyone when this happens, so I wanted to explore this deeper and understand the science of what happens inside Agile/Scrum Teams. From his research and study, Mark has developed a game that will help attendees learn from their own experience some of what it takes to build high performance teams. Full details are available on the http://goagiletour.ca website. Tickets are limited and selling fast, so don’t delay. $70 registration ($25 student) includes presentations, breakfast and lunch, and up to 5 PDUs.
