The June meetup agenda will start off with lunch sponsored by Genuent. Once everyone has had a chance to get settled, we will kickoff the meetup with brief individual introductions (10 secs each).

The event will then move to our guest speaker, Mark Sheffield, who will be presenting via Zoom video. Mark is an Agile Coach, author, and IT consultant. He co-wrote the book “Inviting Leadership” with Daniel Mezick. For the ATAG June meetup, he will share with us the power of Openspace Agility and how it can help engage a team for a common vision and goal.

The second half of the event we will use the Lean Coffee (http://leancoffee.org/) format. Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants will gather, build an agenda (backlog of topics), and begin the discussion. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting is democratically generated.

We will close the meetup with a “Rapid Retrospective” (5 minutes) covering what was beneficial to the group and what could be enhanced in future ATAG meetups.

The total event time is scheduled for ~1.5 hrs.

Please arrive a few minutes early because attendees will need to sign in at the front desk. Parking is available in front of the building and behind the building. Please park on the M3 side since the other side of the lot is owned by SAGE.

We look forward to seeing you there!
