Valeria Lucchesi Team Member training reflections

- Case Studies: spend less time explaining theory (task categories for example) to give space for case studies that are closely related to the topic in question. Having concise and clear examples of how to put the OpenAgile principles to practice can be a richer way to promote discussion.

- Adding voices to the presentation: having different people presenting the content is an awesome way to enrich the whole workshop experience and also to renew attendee's attention and alertness. Garry talking about the Learning Circle was an excellent example.

- Witnesses of success or "live case study": invite people that are using OpenAgile in their projects and teams to talk about their experience implementing the framework. I believe the best time for this would be the last hour of the second day.

- The comic book exercise: extended the time for Engagement Meeting. It was excellent to repeat the exercise on the second day. Tons of learning took place. However I personally felt like the task was a little more complex to tackle than the time set for the Engagement Meeting allowed to more consciously experience the Learning Circle. I understand and believe that some chaos is good to put us in action but as an exercise, 20 minutes for the learning/planning stages could allow the teams to talk better about what they were discovering using OpenAgile. Particularly talking about my team experience, it could have prevented Steve from feeling frustrated with confusion to the point that he left the table for a while during the first day.
