LeanSSC UK 2010

First, there was the volcano in April and some speakers couldn’t make it to Atlanta so we had OpenVolcano 2010. This was just an appetiser. Today was another tasty bite, a conference at Bletchley Park organised by Karl and Rachel (to coincide with Agile Coaches Gathering), with a bunch of great presentations initially destined for Atlanta.

The day was nicely concluded by Eric’s talk adapted on the fly and a quick fishbowl session.

Some of the recurrent themes I picked upon, were:

Kanban is becoming increasingly popular, useful and adaptable as a tool that help visualising the system and thus facilitating learning and creating a shared understanding.

The main challenge still remains with over-engineered organisations that are bafflingly refusing to embrace the lean goodness defending the status-quo.

Thanks to the organisers, the sponsors, presenters and all the great folk from the community. It was a day well spent.

Presentations and podcasts should be available on Skills Matter website.
