room: Trondheimsalen 2 (capacity 180) — time: Tuesday 08:30-09:15, Tuesday 09:15-10:00
Level: Introductory

David Allen’s GTD, Getting Things Done, is a set of simple things you can implement in your daily life to greatly reduce stress and become more efficient in your personal and work life.
A lot of GTD can easily be mapped to how people behave when Lean and Agile is successful. We explore the basic set of GTD tools and how they can help us to be both Lean and Agile. We will cover: Natural Planning (maps to XP Planning Game), GTD Workflow for transforming wishful (stressful thinking) to actions, Ready For Anything – how to prepare for the unexpected.
