About Quinton Quartel

Quinton Quartel does “stuff to help organisations reach their next level”.

Quinton has been programming computers for over three decades. He has worked as a Development Manager, Trainer, Developer, Entrepreneur, and Agile Coach. This work spanned many companies, and Quinton realised that, for the most part, the world of work is not only broken but is crushing the human spirit. This started Quinton on a journey to detoxify organisations while also improving profitability. FaST is a contribution to this effort.

Keynote Getter to the Next Phase of Agile - FAST

The world is changing fast, and at the same time, many of the best practices we have relied on for so long in Agile are not getting the interest or effectiveness they used to. Quinton Quartel will challenge us to try new ways of working and share an experiment he was part of in this space that is now being repeated by others worldwide with similar remarkable results.

Session Deep Dive

Deep Dives are a special opportunity to ask your burning questions to star speakers in a small group setting. Deep Dive numbers are capped at 50 people so be sure to get in early to avoid disappointment.

Full-day Workshop (Wed 14 Aug) Taking Agile to the Next Level FaST with Fluid Scaling Technology

FaST is a very different way of working that can stand on its own as an agile method, or integrate in with most others.

FaST is a very different way of working that can stand on its own as an agile method, or integrate in with most others. Built on Open Space, it creates a complex adaptive system with fluid teaming. Working this way not only solves many of the issues that come with Agile scaling but it truly enables the capability of adaptability as the collective can morph in structure to match any challenge.

So what is FAST, why does it work, and how does it feel?

In this one-day class you will get an overview of what FaST is. And most importantly, get to experience FaST in a simulation exercise. You’ll explore these FaST components:

  • New tools for visualising work and representing complexity
  • Understanding complexity and how to harness chaos for innovation
  • Tackling discovery and delivery work simultaneously (instead of dual-track)
  • Continuous forecasting that doesn’t require pointing

FaST isn’t just theory. Quinton Quartel, your facilitator and the founder of FaST, will share real life stories throughout the day of how FaST works “in the trenches”.
