Kit Friend has been told by his bosses at Accenture that his role is to \u2018bring the sparkles\u2019, something he\u2019s 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 \u2018Agile coach\u2019 somewhere in the middle and he\u2019s 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\u2019s 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

In this year\u2019s edition, \u200bAgile Geek and Atlassian Evangelist Kit Friend takes us deeper into the core of how we estimate\u2014debunking myths, squashing assumptions, and getting to the juicy truth of how teams (and AIs) actually work.<\/p>\n
Expect snacks, silliness, and surprising lessons about trust, teamwork, and the weirdly universal nature of work\u2014whether you’re building chatbots or coconut shoes.<\/p>\n
