The reason to come to conferences like #ATLDN @agiletourlondon is not only to learn and be challenged but also to meet some absolutely wonderful people like Emily and AJ of @OcadoTechnology (alas didn't have chance to get to meet Wim of Beyond Agile) pic.twitter.com/zlvl7sACTg

'It was very interesting to hear some of the behaviours I have observed in my company being articulated as echoes across most of the talks I attended. This did bring some of the magnitude of what we are trying to undertake (and I am helping to facilitate) at our company, into focus. This being said there was something I came to realise that I was certainly not expecting: Even though we are only about seven months into our agile journey, we have managed to achieve much more than I gave us credit for!
'If any of my colleagues happens to be reading this: You are doing AWESOME! Thank you!'

@kkirk I saw you speak at #atldn on Friday and thought it was excellent. Great job! Engaging, thought provoking and will hopefully help me to improve how I view the ecosystem where I work.

Pleasantly suprised by the day @agiletourlondon. Speakers talked about the softer skills of working with people which was wonderful! Building resilience, mistake learning without shame, meaningful engagement resulting in better environments & met some lovely people, ace! #ATLDN

Among many wonderful things I took from @portiatung coaching session @agiletourlondon was awareness of research that on average as individuals we are listened to - really listened to - no more than 7 mins per day.
Give a gift.
Listen.
Listen to the people in your life #ATLdn

#ATLDN @agiletourlondon Richard Atherton helps us visualise a challenge using Lego, then what heaven would look like in Lego, finally to think of an experiment to try which takes us a step towards heaven.

'The compact one-day format and London location make Agile Tour a very practical and effective event. At the 2017 event, I learned consent-based rather than consensus-based decision making as a better way to make things happen, the RAT acronym for product owners — riskiest assumption to test — to help them prioritise their hypotheses, and focusing on small batch size for Lean or Agile delivery at scale. It made for a good summary of common obstacles to continuous delivery.'
— Greg Franklin, Agile Lead at Cancer Research UK

‘What made it different to the other conferences I have attended? Well, for a start it is only one day, which is unusual in a calendar stuffed full of multi-day events. They did have four tracks, so there was a fair amount of content to choose between. Making that choice was quite difficult on several occasions!
'Another thing I noticed was how it felt very much about actual practitioners of agile, rather than theorists or consultants. This was reflected in the attendees I met, and I thank them all for sharing their interesting stories with me. I knew relatively few people there, which in many ways was great. This meant I had lots of time to meet new people. Now I can look forward to catching up with them and having a chat next time we meet too.
'Agile Tour London had a different vibe to other conferences I have been to this year. It wasn’t so much a community as it was a collective. A collaborative, learning environment: Student-y in all the best ways.’
