Jeroen de Jong: Kickstarting a community to effect change in large organizations

This is the story of a large bank that was going through an Agile transformation. The transformation was not going very well, and Jeroen worked with his colleagues to start a community. To kick start that process, they organized an open space event, to help the most interested people share what they were passionate about. 

In this segment, we refer to a podcast episode and blog about how to organize an open space in a remote organization (unconference), and Jeroen’s blog post about the open space organization experience.

Luís Santos Silva: Changing the culture and effectiveness of Sprint reviews

In this organization, the iteration reviews were not producing the needed impact. So Luís and the other Scrum Masters did an investigation to find out what was actually going on. They discovered several anti-patterns that we must also pay attention to as Scrum Masters. However, what they learned led them to focus on changing the culture underlying the reviews. Listen in to learn how they were able to define, and change the culture around iteration reviews.
