  • Liftoff (Book) by Diana Larsen & Ainsley Nies – provides specific methods for “agile chartering” to help teams define their vision, and then write mission and mission tests to guide activities supportive of the vision
  • Mile High Agile 2018 (Live Event) – Inspired by being in Denver, consider checking out the annual Mile High Agile conference being held in Denver, CO on May 21 & 22, 2018 – great conference with open space to learn from others
  • Don’t just attend a conference, go present at it (Personal Development) – If you’ve attended a conference before, consider getting involved by presenting a session at a 2018 conference somewhere – lots of call for papers are open this time of year (early 2018), so consider helping improve the agile community by sharing what you know in 2018 – if you wait ‘til next year, you’ll only be another year older!
