I later read that a “learning community” is formed when people are “actively engaged” in “learning from each other” by “habituation”. A little over a year later, we are at 124 members. A few months in, some of them (not me) suggested rebooting Agile Orlando. It was amazing how quickly people took to the format and starting telling friends about it.
You might start a new community – When I wanted to reboot Agile Orlando, I too wanted a lightweight way to get people together to share knowledge and experience. Better yet, they hear the stories of others around the table of how they struggled and succeeded with some practice or an overall agile/lean adoption. Calm those nervous about change – I've had people attend lean coffee discussions just to find out “What is agile/lean?” and ask their tough questions. As the group continues to meet, they will share what they find and they will keep sharing. What you do need is one knowledgeable person and many that are curious and have done some exploring of the topics. Find expertise and stories to share – What I have found is you don't need a bunch of experts around the table. However, the format is flexible enough that you could use it to discuss any number of topics. Jeremy lightsmith software#
Jim and Jeremy actually started lean coffee as an easy way to share information and learning on Lean software practices.
Helps people easily share knowledge – It easily connects people who are seeking or wanting to share knowledge on a common topic of interest. I have seen the following benefits from a lean coffee discussion: In this blog post, I'll talk about the benefits, how it works, and some tips for serving lean coffee. Jeremy lightsmith professional#
I have been running lean coffee Q&A discussions in Orlando since August 2012 and I wanted to share what an amazing tool this can be for your company or professional group. Originally started by Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith in 2009 in Seattle, I have found it can be a very simple way to bring together or build a community. Lean Coffee is a lightweight way for self-organizing a group of people together to share information.
