To make it perfect

  • Explain why reducing lead time is important and whether it means working harder?
  • Be more entertaining?
  • Go a little deeper on the example and use this to teach the theory
  • More theory
  • Make it more interactive - set aside a short timebox for participants to try it themselves not just with 1 example being worked out
  • Less chaos, just use your own example
  • Shorten the example, it took too long, so the end of the presentation was sped up
  • Have an example case
  • Give coffee to sleepy people
  • Don't waste time on example of someone in the audience
  • Time management
  • More feedback from the public, not just one person :-)
  • Show more worked out software development examples
  • "You can start" => "You start"
  • Picture at intro Philippe
  • Jef always asks questions while Philippe is talking
  • Jef uses less word "right"
  • Write steps with two people
  • Change colours - value added/all time
  • Inform before presentation that you don't have to write but get the slides
  • Spend less time in infrastructure, presentation. Spend more time in demo
  • Have a better example, now only the person giving the example participated
  • One hour is way too short!
  • Example was a bit too vague
