Practical BDD Go See Tips

This interactive talk is for LeSS managers seeking to enhance their organization’s development capabilities and policies. Large-scale Scrum adoptions often involve messy, outdated codebases, making it difficult to introduce modern engineering practices. Join this session to gain practical “Go See” tips on stepping out of the office to observe the codebase and test automation at the gemba. I’ll share my experience introducing Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) during LeSS adoptions and how analyzing Gherkin syntax can reveal the state of BDD practices in your organization. Learn how to craft Gherkin scenarios that serve as living documentation, strengthening collaboration between business and development teams. Discover core BDD concepts, how Example Mapping improves requirements discovery, and best practices for implementing BDD in remote environments. Hear practical tips on how to use conversational AI assistants to help formulate clearer, easier-to-understand Gherkin examples by rephrasing requirements and extracting hidden rules from meeting transcripts during remote backlog refinement sessions. Walk away with actionable strategies to reduce slow feedback loops, prevent misunderstandings, minimize rework, and accelerate delivery while building greater business resilience in today’s changing markets.

Beyond Scrum with AI

AI is rapidly reshaping modern software development, and as we move into the late adoption phase of AI tools, we are gaining a clearer view of its impact. How should organizations adapt to what’s coming next? Join Scrum Barcelona for an insightful discussion at "Beyond Scrum with AI" with Blazej Drobniuch, Pawel Brodzinski and Alex Ballarin. In this talk, Błażej invited Paweł and Alex to a challenge—to discuss the intersection of Scrum and AI. However, bear in mind that this could lead to anything but "How to be a Scrum Master in an AI-powered world." Should we reinvent everything, or does nothing really change? Blazej, an Agile Organizational Consultant, specializes in bridging the gap between business and technical teams. Pawel, a CEO who humorously calls himself the "Chief Cook and Bottle-Washer," brings a unique leadership perspective. Alex, an OKR and Scrum coach and trainer, helping organizations to deploy better their strategies using Agile and OKR. Expect a meaningful discussion on how to future-proof your organization in the AI-driven world.

Women in Agile: Free yourself nad move your organization level up

We want to work as change agents in our organization, but we don’t feel empowered to do the first step. Is it because the organization doesn’t support us, or is it because our internal barriers and convictions stop us? I want to tell my story from an unconfident girl to a mentor for Leaders. It was a difficult battle I had to fight with myself, but in the end, it is inner freedom, independence, and belief in potential. Learning objectives: awareness of our internal barriers and convictions three coaching tools that you could start using to empower yourself
