Description
FREE online event – join and win the book!
On June 1st, we will welcome the massively popular Comic Agilé for an online Agile Kitchen session! The creators Luxshan and Mikkel will take us through a visual and provocative journey of agile anti-patterns and misunderstandings, told through their tragi-comic strips.
As we like a bit of playfulness, we have decided to add a CHALLENGE for this session:
– the session will only take place if we get to 100 session registrations!
– if you are actually present in the session, you’ll have a chance to win one of the 10 copies of the equally witty and insightful book ‘Comic Agilé – volume 1’!
Not to be missed! So claim your seat right now!
More on Comic Agilé:
Mikkel and Luxshan’s mission is to expose what happens when agility meets reality. During their talk, the duo will emphasize how to avoid the depicted mistakes, so we can reflect on our current agile practices and learn how to improve them.
The huge popularity of Comic Agilé led the two partners-in-crime to the publishing of a book with their strips and advice on how to manage the anti-patterns, paradoxes and misunderstandings that inevitably occur when everyone wants to be “agile”, but nobody wants to make the needed changes.

iLean’s Agile Kitchen
Our initiative
The last few years the world of work changed quite a bit, and many Agile community initiatives struggled to stay operational. With iLean’s Agile Kitchen we want to contribute in bringing the community back together in ways that suit our new reality.
In the Agile Kitchen we want you to be more involved and enlarge the learning potential of yourself and our community!

Our concept
It’s simple: iLean’s Agile Kitchen is about Agile and people!
Every 6 weeks we gather around one or more Agile topics for intereactive learning sessions and knowledge sharing. We invite speakers from our community (maybe you?), or national and international thought leaders to facilitate these sessions about specific Agile topics. The topics we chose are your topics. We gather them on our Agile Kitchen Miro board and give you the possibility to introduce or support relevant topics.
Let’s get cooking!
