Laura, when I hold trainings for my clients, I am often surprised by how few people really understand how Agile came about in the first place. We have a short (free!) course available with some background. Go to https://agileforall.com/courses and take the “Discovery of Agile” course. I’m pretty sure you will find some interesting nuggets there. You did say you wanted to keep learning, right??? 🙂

4 – Most Agile topics are interesting to me, but at this point in my career I’m especially wanting to tune into concepts about Agile coaching and Agile above the team level.
5 – I’m excited to see more opportunities to spread Agile knowledge and awareness. So much bad Agile thinking out there, and I know that A4A really gets the mindset piece and can make a positive difference!
