Diana Larsen will present the following workshops sponsored by Trifork in January --

"Making Good Teams Great: Improving Project Performance with Retrospectives" workshop
Jan 14-15, Aarhus, Denmark
Retrospectives offer the greatest lever for improving any software development project or process—based on the solid data of a team’s immediate past experience of success and failure. Through Retrospectives teams systematically evaluate their own performance, explore their lessons learned, expand their capacity and capability, and choose how to improve the way they build and deliver products to your customers. For best results, smart teams and organizations convene Retrospectives iteratively throughout the project and again after delivery.

"Stimulate Team Success: Inspecting and Adapting Management Skills for Agile Projects" workshop
Jan 17-18, Aarhus, Denmark
In Agile work environments smart people work in teams to self-organize their work and produce higher quality results faster and more reliably. Management’s traditional focus on closely monitoring, supervising, controlling, and tracking individuals and their work no longer serves business needs as it once did. Yet Agile methods don’t eliminate the role of management. What’s left for a manager to do? Plenty! The savvy manager shifts focus from controlling work to facilitating it, easing the flow to higher productivity. Agile managers perform new roles.

We took a draconian measure: we've disabled the trackback module and deleted 192.282 trackbacks. Why? We experienced a flood of trackback spam. You could no longer read some pages - with all the spam that gets attached to a page it simply takes too long to load. 

We apologize if we deleted your non-spam trackback, sifting through almost 200.000 trackbacks to find a handul of non-spam ones is not feasible.

Have you ever been in a complex situation where a diverse group of people need to find an answer to a potentially conflicting topic?

Do you need a tool for groups to discuss issues in an open way, allowing every member of the group to speak their mind and heart?

Do you need help in situations when a change is required but no one knows where to go?

The training is designed for people working with young adults in the field of education and are interested in the open space technology. It is a remarkable tool and best used in situations when you want to:

• invite people to get to know each other, create a network, research on the resources in a group
• help people, who feel passion and personal responsibility for a topic, to create and get involved into open discussions about ideas for future action
• reflect upon and learn from a process or happening that a group together goes through
• look into the future
• promotes self-determined learning and self organised working in an enjoyable work environment
• promotes creativity, freedom and fun
• it works well with 5 people or even 2000

The training is organised by Growing Into Life in cooperation with Adults' Education Association Krakow, Poland. It takes place from Thursday, February 28th until Thursday, March 6th 2008 at the Centre "Podgrodzie" in Nowe Warpno, Poland.

The deadline for registration to the training is October 25th 2007 with the online form which you can find on our website.

Financial support is available for this training within European Commission’s “Lifelong Learning Programme – Grundtvig”. The deadline for application there is October, 31st 2007. You can find funding details on our website.
