wibas@ Scrum-Day

This year, we were once again represented as a sponsor at the Scrumday in Stuttgart with a stand and presentation. This time with an extra large team and a new topic: mindfulness for agilists. The topic has been on our minds for some time and we are happy to be able to bring it to the outside world. We were all the more pleased that we were not the only ones dealing with this topic. In a further presentation and an open space slot, the visitors dealt intensively with the relevance of mindfulness in an agile environment, making it a constant theme throughout the two days and was generally very well received.

We see great potential in mindfulness to support working in an agile environment. The agile way of working requires a high degree of open interaction with people and reflection on one's own behavior. With mindfulness, we increase our awareness of ourselves and others and learn to perceive situations without judgment. This awareness helps us to meet the high demands of a rapidly changing environment through self-organization. At the same time, it also enables us to better support other teams in this challenge. It allows us to take team coaching to a higher level and enriches our daily work with new facets. With this in mind, the topic of mindfulness fitted in perfectly with the overarching theme of Scrumday: "agile coaching".

Over the course of the two days, the first interested parties emerged who would like to take a closer look at the topic in a workshop. In a 2-day workshop in September, we will show concrete ways of introducing mindfulness into the working environment in a practical and non-esoteric way.

In addition to posters and small booklets, we have brought along our new wibas team calendar as a give-away. If you would like to print out your own personal copy, you will soon be able to download it as a PDF from our website.

We would like to thank all participants for the good discussions, the exciting presentations and the inspiring encounters. Because that's what Scrumday is all about. We are already looking forward to the next one.
