GSG Amsterdam 2023 - Integrated Agile: How to Gracefully Manage the Reality of Agile Mixed With Waterfall
Agile mixed with Waterfall exists in every product development organization globally, yet current thinking teaches us to crusade for one approach at the expense of the other - an approach that creates unnecessary resistance and alienates people with different perspectives. The question is: How can we manage the reality of a mixed-methods environment while still receiving the intended benefits of both approaches?
In this talk, Brock Argue and Erkan Kadir will introduce Integrated Agile, a groundbreaking and practical approach that leverages Polarity Thinking to manage the predictable dynamics between Agile and Waterfall while maximizing the upsides of both approaches.
Brock and Erkan will be presenting Monday October 9 at 11am GMT+2
GSG Portland + Beyond 2023
Join Erkan Kadir and Elena Aminov as they present: Learning to Love the Journey.
All ScrumMasters yearn for their teams to become more effective agilists. It’s common for this yearning to turn into frustration when working with people who just don't get it. Before we know it, we’re speaking disparagingly about who we’re there to help - throwing our hands in the air, giving up and being unhappy in our roles as ScrumMaster.
News flash! ScrumMasters will, by definition, ALWAYS be in situations where the people around them haven’t mastered Scrum. When that stops being true, you’ll just be moved to another team that does need your help.
Come to this session if you want to learn how to enjoy every day of your amazing journey, develop compassion for your team, link the work you’re doing now back to your life’s purpose and rediscover that spark for your role as an agile change agent.
PMI New Jersey Agile Discussion Group

Join us and learn how to proactively manage conflict, define team boundaries, and take your team to the next level of performance.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this session, learners will be able to: List the ways working agreements are linked to high-performing teams. Experiment with a research-backed approach to create working agreements Plan and facilitate a working agreements session for a Scrum Team
Agile & Scaled-Value Project Management Meetup
How we grow and mature as humans has an outsized impact on our ability to fulfill our role as Scrum Masters. We all mature through a series of known stages that shape our values, behaviours, and how we make meaning of the world around us. And, as it turns out, the values necessary to "be agile" map directly to one of these stages. The implications for Scrum Masters are immense.
In this talk, we'll explore four decades of research into developmental psychology as applied to the Scrum Master role. You’ll learn how Scrum Masters fulfill their roles at each level of maturity, how to assess your own maturity, and you'll leave with tools you can use to take the next leap in your journey as a Scrum Master and as a human.

Global Scrum Gathering Lisbon 2022 - Presentation #2
Our amazing coaches have been selected to present not one, but two, talks at GSG Lisbon this year!
Join Erkan and Brock for “Working Agreements that Work”.
69% of the problems occurring within teams are perpetual, meaning that they cannot be solved, only managed. Unfortunately, teams just aren’t together long enough for reactive conflict management strategies to give teams a fighting chance of ever reaching a state of high performance. With the average tech worker seeking new employment every two years, team composition changes every few months and reactive conflict management strategies are often too little too late when conflict has already turned destructive. Working agreements as a proactive strategy, on the other hand, can keep conflict constructive and set teams up for success.
The research is clear. Teams that invest in creating working agreements outperform those that do not. Working agreements aren't just for teams experiencing problems - they are a key ingredient in making a good team great!
You’re not alone. According to a 2022 Scrum Alliance survey, Scrum Masters cited creating effective working agreements as their biggest area of need. Join us and learn how to proactively manage conflict, define team boundaries, and take your team to the next level of performance.

Global Scrum Gathering Denver 2022
Once again, Brock and Erkan have been invited to share their talk, “You Need to Change - Start here!”
“Your team has hit a plateau in their performance and is no longer improving at the pace you are used to. You, as their leader, are racking your brain to determine what the issue might be. What would cause such a team to stall out. Have you considered that the cause might be you? The level of consciousness of an organization cannot exceed that of its leader. (Frederic Laloux). Enabling your team to reach ever higher levels of performance requires that you do so first. In this workshop, we will guide leaders through the Immunity to Change framework developed by Robert Keagan and Lisa Lahey and demonstrate how the Immunity Map can be used to catalyze change in your leadership. Participants will practice using the Immunity Map to identify areas of improvement, limiting beliefs, assumptions and behaviors that are holding you and your team back from higher performance. You know that you need to change. Now’s the time. Start here!”
Don’t Cry Over Spilled Coffee - Prioritize!
"If you build it, they will come." There's definitely truth in that iconic line from the movie, "Field of Dreams", but what is "it"? How do I determine which feature to deliver first, second, third, and so on? In today's fast-paced, highly competitive world, delivering the right feature first matters. You as the Product Owner are the sole person accountable for ordering the product backlog, such that the value of the product is maximized. And yet, many Product Owners continue to prioritize by gut feel. Surely there's a better way.

Amplify your agile coaching with ORSC™ with Kerry Woodcock and Erkan Kadir
Ready for your next superpower? Come join us for an exploration of Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching™ (ORSC™) within agile organizations. ORSC™ is the next horizon for ScrumMasters, agile coaches, and leaders who are looking to help others reach their goals with agility. While agile increases interactions between people exponentially, organizations still need to figure out for themselves how to build and navigate strong relationships. For this reason, ORSC™ fits like a glove in agile contexts. In this interactive workshop, you’ll hear stories from a CRRGlobal leader and a certified ORSC™ practitioner who have used ORSC™ to unlock agility within organizations, learn how Relationship Systems Intelligence™ (RSI™) helps teams to move beyond the personal to a powerfully generative team identity, and experience one powerful ORSC coaching tool that can be used with groups of any size. This workshop is for anyone who is curious about ORSC™ or who wants to increase their impact in agile organizations.

Levers of Change
Change is hard. Many organizations do not excel when under change. And yet, adapting quickly to changing conditions is a key competitive advantage for organizations today. Think back to the last change your organization made. Chances are it was more time-consuming and costly than initially anticipated and led to costly resistance in the organization. Why is it that change in organizations takes so long to materialize? What if there was a way to pull on a few key levers to speed the change along? Inspired by the "catalyze" question from the Scrum Alliance Certified Enterprise Coach application, Join Brock Argue and Lukas Klose and learn what it means to be a change catalyst and how to identify and select leverage points that will help speed the successful adoption of change in your organization.
