Retrospectives Antipatterns with Aino Vonge Corry

Join us for the Aarhus DevOps Meetup on October 6th, kindly hosted by Stibo Systems, where Aino Vonge Corry will share stories, mistakes, and practical lessons from the world of retrospectives.

Anti-Patterns are like patterns, only more informative. With anti-patterns you will first see what patterns reoccur in “bad” retrospectives and then you will see how to avoid, or remedy, the situation.

Based on her book “Retrospectives Antipatterns” which itself is based on her experience with facilitating retrospectives for more than a decade, join Aino for an entertaining and informative presentation on the antipatterns she has seen and how to overcome the problems. We also encourage the audience to chip in with their experiences or questions along the way.

About the speaker:

Aino Vonge Corry (born 1971 in Aarhus, Denmark) is an independent consultant, who sometimes works as an agile coach.

After gaining her Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2001 she spent the next 10 years failing to choose between being a researcher/teacher in academia, and being a teacher/facilitator in industry. She eventually squared the circle by starting her own company, Metadeveloper, which develops developers by teaching CS, teaching how to teach CS, inviting speakers to IT conferences, and facilitating software development in various ways. She has facilitated retrospectives and other meetings for the past 15 years during which time she has made all the mistakes possible in that field.

Aino has lived in Stockholm, Lund, and Cambridge, but she is now back in Aarhus, Denmark, where she lives with her family, and a growing collection of plush cephalopods.

Sandwiches and beverages will be provided.
