Kit Friend has been told by his bosses at Accenture that his role is to ‘bring the sparkles’, something he’s pleased to attempt whether speaking at conference or helping teams work better! After abandoning a potential lifetime in art and design, and failing to begin a career in politics, Kit has been enjoying the journey of helping teams deliver awesome things since 2010. Folks started calling him an ‘Agile coach’ somewhere in the middle and he’s been trying to spread least-worst-practices ever since, particularly attempting to avoid optimistically constraining effectiveness through over zealous use of tooling. He happily abandoned Brexit in 2022 to move to Brisbane, and has enjoyed spreading the love of Lego Serious Play, inflatable animals, and more at Agile Australia and other forums since. When he’s not making jazz hands at audiences about the benefits of agility, Kit lives with his wife and 2 sons in Brisbane, and enjoys a haphazard mix of cycling, running, and mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade of teaching Agile teams, Kit Friend has seen the magic of enabling participants to focus on the real value – the discussion of what is to be done, and how they are going to do it and how this can be enabled by… discussing peeling fruit! Join him to learn how relative estimation really works and the consistent human magic that occurs in every meeting.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
