XP 2025
Mon 2 - Thu 5 June 2025 Brugg - Windisch, Switzerland

With 2025 being the WEF year of Collaboration and the UN year of the Cooperatives, the demand for useful collaborative structures has never been higher.

Agile is in a sweet spot to serve this demand. And with increasing degrees of self-organization and self-management there is a new role for strategy to play.

In all its simplicity, useful collaboration is hard to achieve without strategic clarity.

Strategy is implied from any thought of action as well as action itself. Our challenge and opportunity are to bring it out more clearly and actively shape it in our favour. The perfect job for an agile coach!

This workshop sets the scene with a contemporary view on strategy and its role in increasing the power and capability to act on changing opportunities.

Participants will get a chance to practice a set of strategy mining tools:

  • What is your strategy?
  • What variables are you playing on?
  • Team up on great ideas!
  • How does your strategy mesh with others?
  • Draw a treasure hunt map!
  • Bubble chart your tensions!
  • How to mine your own strategy?

We end by suggesting a doctrine for contemporary agile strategy as your compass in a strategy-led approach for your organization to better flow with opportunities.

The approach is scale-free and can be applied in any organizational context.

It offers great promise for the future of agile coaching in the organizational crux points where opportunity, risk, cost, and work meet to plan for desired outcomes.

For the audience at XP the workshop approach is Train-the-Trainer and aims for participants to start practicing this at home.

Half-day instructor-led workshop.
