![]() Early on, it was simply an experiment, but it had legs. Now one of our monthly meetings is set aside for recording discussions and posting them to iTunes. In early 2014, I adapted my own local lean coffee meetups ( Agile Coffee – Irvine) to create a podcast: the Agile Coffee Podcast. (I’ve read that some teams/organizations run staff meetings this way.) A trained facilitator and a mature team can do just about anything with this format. I’ve also used Lean Coffee as a medium for my retrospectives and other brainstorming meetings at work. I started a local Lean Coffee, ( Agile Coffee of Southern California), as a means to expand my network and provide the local Lean community with an alternative to the stodgy, agenda-driven events we’ve grown accustomed to. In that respect, it was a great introduction to the agenda-less structure. Topics ranged from the standard (“what is Scaled Agile?”, “how do you point stories?”) to the unusual (“best breakfast food”) to the necessary (“what is lean coffee?”). On the second morning I made it to this ad-hoc Lean Coffee – it was certainly not on the conference agenda. It was a 2-day conference setting with a very open, unconference feel. I attended my first Lean Coffee at SFAgile in May 2012 (where I also met Jim). Remember: it’s not an agenda until we vote on it. Taking a photo of the board or any artifacts (mind maps, etc.) is also handy. This is usually important if you’re using the meeting to drive decisions or create work. ![]()
