Unfortunately, second Agilopolis Community Conference should be refered in a past tense now :(. But on the other hand, all great memories and lot of acquired knowledge will stay with us forever!

Conference was opened by Ewa Schumacher and introduction of moderator - Lukasz Jastrzebski (NSN).
Moderator introduced basic rules of Open Space Technology, which were pretty simple.


Main Goal: solve concrete problems, get some real conclusions

Four rules: do not worry about future or missing parts (lepszy wrobel w garsci niz skrzypek na dachu) whoever comes is right (we are the experts and interested in topic) no time constraints both min and max stop discussion if no progress is being made One law: Use your feet to go to the most interesting topic for you. Two roles: butterfly (polish: 'motylek') - moderator traveling between topics and steering them into proper direction team member - expert, discussing the topics, problems, experiences and possible solutions

Word of the day: defetyzm = defeatism

Just after introduction, first real task for participants was to provide list of topics they are interested and would like to discuss with others. Initially, atmospher was a little bit stif and there were not many volunteers but after few minutes of silents, few comments and laughts, quite good progress was made.
Following topics were defined:

• How to best motivate people
• How to do effective retrospection
• Handling of virtual teams in agile
• Maintanance in agile theory
• Should story points be calibrated between Scrum teams
• Role of PM vs SM
• Defeatist in the team
• most important tooling
• Scrum Master - inside or outside of the team
