Dapper means well dressed, put together and looking stylish neat and trim in appearance. It’s also a way to ensure your backlog is ready for night on the town.

Let’s face it, there are just some conversations that you don’t want to have. There are some people you simply don’t want to talk to. What happens when we don’t? Everyone loses. It is perfectly natural for us to avoid difficult conversations. We fear rejection, retaliation, emotional outbreaks, the dismissal of our ideas, and those incredibly awkward moments. However, many conversations need to be had. The solution is not going to work and one person is the roadblock, the performance of an individual is lower than expected, an individual’s behavior is impeding team productivity, someone is dominating too much, and the list goes on and on. If we want healthy, productive teams and projects, crucial conversations must be had.

You’ve been hearing about Agile for what seems like years. You understand the basics like ceremonies, roles, velocity, sprints and such. And then, it happens.

How can we become a better team, while also delivering software?Let’s look beyond the foundational values and principles of Agile and defined roles to learn techniques that make all of this work in the real world.
