How To Run A Lean Coffee

By Derek Neighbors on March 27, 2013

During a session at Agile Open Northwest convened by Arlo Belshee a number of us discussed good ideas (Lean Coffee, Core Protocols, Open Space Technology, Technical Practices and Team Practices) that needed to be spread. These are things we take for granted in the Agile community, but when introducing them to people it becomes obvious that they are not as common as we think they are.

Agile Weekly talks about experiences with these topics regularly.

Flow Topic has put together great Lean Coffee Guide.
