#Agile20reflect #Agile #OpeningCeremony
The Agile20Reflect Festival was an open invite to any Agilists to share their passion. Deliberately distributing the events and allowing people to do what they want. There have only been a few events that were out with our scope. As we started on this, we really wanted to find out who was out there? Who was doing what? Who wanted to collaborate with who?
When we first launched the idea, several people doubted that the festival would happen. To help guide us. We have developed a Red – team to minimise risk but we have put a lot of reliance on self-organisation and the ability of the community to self-regulate. Things will go wrong, and we will learn from that, but we have faith in the community to support the festival.
I was blown away at the beginning of the journey when Daniel Mezick took me to see the great Harrison Owen. I was in awe of the great man. He gave me some great wisdom. Whoever comes are the right People, whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened, and It starts when it starts. Meeting Harrison Owen was one of the great moments of my life. I felt completely Humbled.
I am so happy so many people took up the invite! And this is truly Global and truly multilingual And I am looking forward to understanding what happen next. I am still humbled to think that the unpaid volunteers achieved such inclusion. This is the Biggest Agile thing in the world and its free for everyone, a great educational charitable undertaking. I took up the invitation and i will be talking about three things, not theories or methods but human stuff. Imposter phenomenon holding you back, Gratitude and Agile Teams and Celebrating the super powers of Dyslexia and Agility. Three things that I coach in agile teams people in a lot. I followed my Passion.. I invite you to do the same.
And it all starts with the invitation to the Opening Ceremony. And a huge thank you to the volunteers. Agile20Reflect is a worthy celebration.

Beautiful Humans!!
The festival is now 400 Events and still growing.. such a beautiful wellspring of knowledge from across all the continents. Well done – You are truly a Global Community!
We are pulling together the Agenda for the opening ceremony of The Agile20Reflect and we have chose the theme of Ubuntu….
In the next week we will explore Ubuntu and what Africa can teach the world about Human relationships. Our honoured first Nyansanii (wise person in Ghanan) will be the lovely Nana Bambara who will open our beautiful festival this year.
He defines the essence of Ubuntu as “The African Philosophy Ubuntu, a Bantu word, that defines what it means to be truly human. We affirm our humanity when we acknowledge that of others.” And we cannot think of a more fitting Human sentiment for opening up our global agile village in love, equality and connectedness.
I firmly believe that tThe Agile20Reflect festival is a true FESTIVAL of Humans celebrating our connectedness through each other!
I also like the idea of having the festival have a regional opening and this year we honour our brothers and sisters in Africa and welcome them to teach us more about being Agile Practitioners and our Humanness.
The Opening ceremony will have activities that bring us together and introduce us to new people from different experiences. The activities will be lead by different regions of the world. As we all work together to make something Beautiful! I wonder who will lead next year…

This is a Festival without events, in the style of Uber being a Taxi service without taxi’s. It’s focus is facilitation not organisation in a true Agile sense the outcomes belong to the participants not the facilitators. It’s the ultimate embodiment of an Agile way of celebrating Agile. Anyone can add a free event to the calendar and we will promote it as part of the festival.
