Agile Cheer - Bring It On!

The purpose of cheerleading is to support and encourage their team to achieve peak performance - they give the team the extra oomph to carry them over the goal line! The cheerleaders not only support and celebrate the wins, they also encourage the team when they need to push through their trials and tribulations. Cheerleaders build the hype of the team fans by creating infectious energy - just imagine your stakeholders hyped up because of your awesome team!

In this session we will take lessons from professional cheerleading and apply them in an agile team context.

We will cover the 3 pillars of agile cheerleading – dance, chants, and emotions and explore the fundamentals and benefits of an agile cheer so that you can super-charge your teams.

BE! AGILE! BE! BE AGILE!

High-performing teams is what every agile coach, agilist, and organization hopes to help teams become. High performance is more than just efficiency, productivity, and delivery however. A high-performing team might need a little support and encouragement along the way! Our session focuses on how the team itself can become their own cheerleaders, creating a culture where they actively cheer themselves on to success and high-performance.

Participants will:

• practice bringing it by cheering
• summarize the benefits of cheer for team performance
• create your own agile cheer that you can share with your team
• reflect on those moments when your team would benefit from an awesome agile cheer
• use the fundamentals of professional cheerleading to encourage, support, and celebrate your team
