ABSTRACT
High performance depends on the self-organizing capability of teams. Understanding how this works and how to avoid destroying self-organization is a challenge. Until you understand complex adaptive systems and how Toyota works it is difficult to improve team velocity. Jeff will discuss three core topics:
1. Shock therapy as a strategy for booting up teams. 2. The Cosmic Stopping Problem, otherwise known as the choice uncertainty principle. 3. Punctuated equilibrium - how software systems evolve
Take advantage of these concepts and you may find a way to achieve the ultimate potential of a team. This session will be a "Deep Agile" presentation keying off topics presented to engineers at MIT.
Speaker: Jeff Sutherland Dr. Jeff Sutherland is one of the co-creators of the Scrum software development process. He and Ken Schwaber invented Scrum in 1993. Since then he has worked with many software companies and IT organizations to extend and enhance this process.

To spayced: This presentation is geared towards advanced users of SCRUM methodology, people who already know what sprint, waterfall, and team velocity mean. You could have figured it out before watching by checking out the info section, it says clearly that "this session will be a "deep agile" presentation...". Also, the title is about "improving the team" - any team already using Agile development and SCRUM knows the terminology.
It would have been nice if he spent more time explaining some of the things he talked about it. Many people don't know what a 'sprint' is, outside of running. What do you mean by velocity? I already know what a 'waterfall' implementation is but I bet many people don't. I think there are a lot of good ideas here but if you can't explain them better, this talk is useless.
To btmore: I can appreciate that it sounds paradoxical. As said earlier, you have to try it. Jeff Sutherland has done Scrum for 15 years; I think the associated teams are quite happy with it (not to mention his firms).
