Lean Kanban Europe 2010, September 23-24, Antwerp, Belgium I am honored to be able to deliver the opening keynote for Lean Kanban Europe 2010, 'What Is Next In the Agile World: Why Lean / Kanban Matters'. I chose this topic as I think it will set the tone for this conference which will bring together the leading innovators, practitioners, and influential thought leaders in Lean Software and systems management. It will be Europe's largest Lean and Kanban conference, held over over two days from Thursday, September 23 to Friday, September 24. The conference will assist organizations that depend on software - from start-ups to those that build complex, software intensive products, systems & services - with the application of Lean Thinking throughout the enterprise. I also will be giving an afternoon session on Friday on transition: 'Seeing what matters using the right vision to manage transition'. International Conference on Lean Enterprise Software and Systems (LESS2010), October 17-20, Helsinki, Finland Agile software development changed the way that software development is perceived today. The journey continues now in the new era where software business meets software practice in a novel way. I am proud to present at the first International Conference on Lean Enterprise Software and Systems (LESS) which is in collaboration with the Lean Software and Systems Consortium of which I am a founding member. The journey starts from Helsinki, Finland in October 2010. LESS joins three strong communities together to form a platform for innovative ideas and future developments. It will foster the interaction by joining the lean product development community with the agile community coupled with innovative ideas nurtured by the beyond-budgeting school of thinking. These communities are supported by well-defined educational tracks to involve the university lecturers deeply in the network where future software and business managers are educated. I will be giving a morning tutorial on Wednesday, October 20 'Scaling Agile With the Lessons of Lean Product Development Flow' Øredev 2010 Conference, November 8-12, Malmö, Sweden Øredev is the Premier developer's conference in Europe, focused on the whole software development process. Øredev means both Quality and Quantity, by bringing the best speakers and expert practitioners on a range of subjects, such as Java, .Net, Project Management, Web development and Testing. With a low ratio of only 10 conference participants to each expert speaker, Øredev is a unique event that delivers real exchanges of ideas. "Birds-of-a feather", or "chalk talks" after each learning session, allow you to dig deeper into your topic. Senior Consultant Cory Foy will be giving a morning tutorial on 'Koans and Katas Oh My!' and two sessions: 'Delivering What's Right' and 'Fostering Software Craftsmanship'.
