29 August 2012 Agile Lean Europe 2012
Barcelona, Spain "Agile Contracting the Good Parts"
Speakers: David Campey, Robert Feigin, Steve Holyer & Nancy Van Schooenderwoert
This session presented real-world issues encountered when an agile business produces software for clients. Can you require your customer to correctly fulfill a Product Owner role? Is an iteration commitment a guarantee? What should go in the SOW and what belongs in the contract? We discussed practical ways to use contracts for Agile work.
13-17 August 2012 Agile 2012
Dallas, TX, USA "Agile FDA Mini-Plays, Mosh Pit Style"
Co-Presenters: Nancy Van Schooenderwoert and Brian Shoemaker, Principal Consultant at Shoebar Associates
In the FDA-regulated world, resistance to using Agile methods is still strong. We've turned several of the typical objections from quality and regulatory managers in the FDA-regulated industry into role-play sessions, both to explain the reason for the objection and to describe how well-managed Agile teams can answer it.
By modeling the conversations you may need to have, we help you understand, not just the FDA rules, but the thinking behind those rules. Our role play isn't a "closed shop"— you can jump in too, and get your questions addressed.
21-25 May 2012 XP2012
Malmo, Sweden "XP2012: Agile by Design": Thirteenth International Conference on Agile Software Development.

19-21 April 2012 Boston Agile Games 2012
Microsoft NERD Center, Cambridge, MA, USA Nancy Van Schooenderwoert led a session of her "Lean Workflow Design" game, which was voted one of the most popular games at the previous year's event. This was an open space conference, so new games were invented and offered on the spot.
16-17 April 2012 Scandanavian Developer Conference
Göteborg Convention Centre (Svenska Mässan), Mässans gata 24, Göteborg, Sweden Nancy Van Schooenderwoert gave two talks at the SDC2012 conference, on the west coast of Sweden:
"Embedded Storycrafting: Key to controlling Risk and Schedule".
16 April 2012, 14:40 - 15:30
In this session, Nancy used examples from embedded systems development to show how well-written Agile stories can synchronize the work of multiple specialist teams in larger projects.
"No Bugs"
17 April 2012, 17:00 - 18:00
"Agile" is known for speed and high quality. If you aim for super high quality, you get speed as a side effect. But if you aim for high speed you will not get high quality as a side effect. This case study showed how that idea works in real world projects.
17-20 February 2012 Play4Agile
Rückersbach, Germany Play4Agile Open Space Conference
A gathering for Agile and Lean coaches, experienced facilitators, and game experts who want to exchange questions, ideas, and experiences on using games in teams and organisations.
