Hello
I’m
Jenny
It’s
taken
me
25
years
to
realise
that
what
makes
me
6ck
and
get’s
me
out
of
bed
in
the
morning
isn’t
so=ware
development
as
such,
not
even
agile
tes6ng
or
BDD,
it’s
about
helping
teams
flourish
and
thrive
and
be
themselves.
So
I’m
all
about
collabora6on.
But
collabora6on
is
hard.
When
you
come
out
of
your
Scrum
cer6fica6on
training
you
kind
of
come
out
thinking
“OK
–
now
I’ve
got
this
post-‐it
note
I
need
to
go
and
have
conversa6ons
and
collaborate”.
I
work
with
teams
who
find
that
difficult,
which
poses
problems
-‐
because
effec6ve
collabora6on
is
absolutely
crucial
to
the
success
of
our
projects.
As
well
as
collabora6on,
I’m
also
convinced
that
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
that
organisa6ons
face
when
implemen6ng
Agile,
is
how
to
do
the
right
amount
of
analysis
and
design,
&
knowing
when
to
do
it.
So
today
we’re
going
to
examine
and
discuss
how
much
is
the
right
amount
of
upfront
work,
and
when
to
do
it,
&
how
taking
a
collabora6on-‐driven
approach
can
help
you
get
the
balance
right
in
your
own
team.
I’d
like
to
introduce
you
to
a
couple
of
characters
you
might
have
met
before….
