1. Are you on an Agile team and not seeing value out of your sprint planning?
2. Are you looking for tools or best practices to make the ceremony more effective?

If so, you will benefit from this webinar.

Sprint planning is when the Agile development team takes the prioritized product increment and begins translating it into a goal and a plan of action.

The team learns more about each backlog item, engages in estimation exercises, and defines the goal of the sprint.

When sprint planning runs effectively, the team comes away with clarity and purpose in their work and the chances of delivering on the sprint goal increase greatly.

In this webinar, NK will describe best practices of engaging and effective sprint planning to help you put your team in the best position to succeed.

Over the past 18 months, we’ve seen a global pandemic, social unrest not seen since the civil rights movement, working parents stressed with having to home school, and a country deeply divided, we’ve also seen a changing workplace, where remote employment now being the norm in many office locations, and employees demanding that DEI (diversity / equity / inclusion) becomes a corporate initiative.

The boundaries between work – life have never been less clear.

• Has this impacted your engagement?
• Do you even know what engages you anymore?
• Is it life related?
• Is it work related?
• Are your positive emotions driving your engagement, or is it being inhibited by negative emotions?
• If you’re a manager, are you IN THE ZONE?

Engagement is often seen as a top-down process driven by organizational management or one’s own manager. Employees often expect the company to do things to engage them, and hope their manager leads in a way that creates a culture of engagement.

While it’s true that employee engagement starts at the top, engagement is truly dependent on us as individuals – and knowing our own engagement is exponentially important because research tells us that if a manager is disengaged, his/her employees are 3 TIMES more likely to be disengaged themselves.

This impactful talk includes real time participant polling, the latest research, and pragmatic best practices and takeaways, while reinforcing that today leaders, more than ever, need to engage the ‘whole’ person, demonstrate empathy, and lead change even when the destination is uncertain.
