Agile + Learning
to change the way people work, we need to change
the way they learn
~ Maritza ~
workplace learning
from training (push) ... • Documentation Management ( 2003)• Knowledge Management• Class-room or f2f training• Blended Learning = eLearning• Training or HR Departments• Training as "Event" or "Intervention"
... to learning (pull)• Just-in-time learning• Byte-sized learning chunks• Blended = Program of Learning (f2f, chat,
online discussion, co-creation)• L& D or Learning Departments• Continuous Learning as Skill
Personal Learning Networks ... social learning, peer content and communities, finding over remembering
Challenges:• New workers (graduates) and matriculants
• Study to Pass, rather than Learning to Learn
• Management view of Training vs Learning
• Teams haven’t known anything else
Prevailing Culture
- Linear hierarchies
- Top-down decision-making
- Accepting a given system, not creating it
Culture is Everything (nom nom)Organizations (Changing)
Society/Economy (Changing a Lot)
Education (Not Changing Enough)
The Long GameDisrupting and Reinventing
Education to Create a Foundation for
Life-long Learning and Continuous Improvement
(Sir Ken Robinson)

Just as waterfall managers find it impossible to control projects, teachers
find it impossible to control kids. Scrum is designed to solve this
problem.

What does that look like?

deep principles
PDCA for Individuals
• observing - seeing the work honestly
• questioning - interrogating the work
• applying - courage to try something new
• evaluate - interpret and adjust
"seeing the system" - lack of contextual awareness, lack of ability to change things, waiting for somebody to tell me the answer ~ Bob Marshall
