Inclusive Teams Deliver

It’s been almost 20 years since the Agile Manifesto was created. How has it changed the way we work? Is the way forward about what we do, how our teams look or how we think?
This session presents years of research done with many TW teams – and a way forward, intertwined with the Agile Manifesto. We give a vision for the future that builds on what the best teams already do – but often do unknowingly. By making these actions a mindset, conscious and thoughtful, we can have huge impacts.
Out as Non-Binary GenderQueer for over 10 years, Dr J has been bringing queer theory (with a slice of humour) into the tech space, building on ThoughtWorks’ dedication to inclusivity and intersectionality. Dr J takes a strategic view of cultural change in Technology through a few lenses, notably queer theory.
This combines well with their years of experience using agile processes to build software and a talent for really understanding clients – looking at the problems they are solving and how to make great teams to deliver real value.
Their passion? How you can do things better with just simple changes – bringing their Service Design thinking into both the Technology and the Diversity and Inclusion spaces.
