Good day, good fellow agilists!
Do you remember our Manifesto for Agile Software Development? And in particular, the following principle: "The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation"?
And when was the last time you did it with another agilist? And not from your company!
Yes, I know, the fucking covid hit us hard. But don't you think it's time to meet and have these face-to-face conversations?
I don't know a lot of agilists in Berlin, but I believe there are many of us! And maybe we feel lonely and lost on our Agile path.
And I don't want this to be yet another formal professional meetup - my dream is to have a safe space where we will meet and talk and network.
So let's meet! And let's do it informally! And let's share some drinks, stories, feelings, and emotions!
Let's build together the Berlin Agile Tribe!
What is intervision
We'll split the table into two parts:
1 - as usual, it's going to be an informal professional chit-chat around Agile
2 - we're going to run a so-called Group Intervision.
‘Intervision’ is a form of group supervision. The term intervision is related to supervision but distinct from it. Rather than seeing others and their work from above (super = above or beyond), the perspective taken in intervision is from within (inter = between, among, in the midst of, mutually, reciprocally or together).
As the term suggests, intervision is a peer-led method that does not rely on an (external) expert acting as facilitator. The various roles are undertaken by all participants who will ideally swap roles from session to session. Therefore, intervision is defined by its group mode, a process with specified roles, the reciprocity and reversibility of all roles and the focus on professional practice situations or challenges.
The method is designed for peer-led reflective groups and practice supervisors who could support teams to use this method. If you would like to help create and offer a safe, reflective space for your team, or across teams, then this method would be useful.
