Vital Conversations

Productive conversations involve people sharing about themselves, stories of their past or present, and their dreams of what the future may hold. People are literally waiting to talk about their latest hobby, their new car, or the funny thing that their toddler said at the dinner table.
Let people tell their story! Let the Conversation Begin:
Be genuine.
Perfect your timing.
Learn to actively listen.
Find common ground.
Vital Conversations is introducing a set of skills to achieving concensus and/or agreement. Use this skillset to avoid counter-productive conversations which result in further delays and/or conflict. ​

Lean - Agile

AGILE is a method of project management, that is characterized by the division of tasks into short phases of work and frequent reassessment.
​
In software development, agile (sometimes written Agile)practices involve discovering requirements and developing solutions through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross-functional teams and their customer(s)/end user(s). It advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continual improvement, and it encourages flexible responses to change.
It was popularized by the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The values and principles espoused in this manifesto were derived from and underpin a broad range of software development frameworks, including Scrum and Kanban.
