At the Camp we like to have participants who actively participate in the event by bringing their own experience and interesting questions and topics to explore. It doesn’t matter how much experience you will bring. Important is your engagement in the camp. Therefore we would like you to introduce yourself to the other participants by telling us
- What do you plan to learn and explore at this camp? and
- How do you plan to contribute?
Pierluigi Pugliese
What do you plan to learn /explore at this camp?
1. Ways to expand the vocabulary of what coaching in agile means: IMO the field is still in its infancy
2. Meet several old friends and possibly make some onesHow do you plan to contribute?
I will propose some sessions dedicated to explore how agility should be considered as a systemic change in an organisation and therefore needs to be seen also with the eyes of the organisational developer and not just the ones of the team coach. On the top of that, one of the topics I can contribute these days is bringing the experiences I made as an agile over the last years and share them with the other participants
Roberto Romualdi
Of course, as in the last edition, to share 2 days with the best of the italian agile coaches is really a valuable and great experience (I do not say that just to write something …). I am ready to give contribution to a possible open space according to my experience. I am working in one of the biggest telecomunication company and I cannot say to have seen all about Agile & related practices: the path is not so quick and a lot of difficulties are there to slow down or even stopiing the agile introduction; sometimes even some basic concepts are difficult to introduce. So I cannot propose any brilliant up to date technology, but only my experience (> 2 years).
Fabio Armani
What do I plan to learn / explore at this camp?
- New Agile Coach practices and approaches
How do I plan to contribute?
- With a lot of LEGO and other Lean Agile Games for sure.
- By proposing and discussing with the others what I’ve learned during my last year of Lean & Agile Coaching in middle and large organizations
Gaetano Mazzanti
Last year’s Camp has been a great learning opportunity for me, I met a lot of great people and some of them became my friend.
This time I hope to bring a more active contribution, with feedback from my coaching experiences, ideas and activities.
In particular I would like to propose activities to explore the “yes, and…” paradigm used in theatrical improvisation, check this: http://pragprog.com/magazines/2011-08/guru-meditation

Anybody have positive experience with off-shore teams? Mine was negative.
I can contribute based on the needs of the self organizing team
Massimo Bandinelli
I definitely wants to know something more about coaching dynamics, how to facilitate improvements items adopting Agile methodologies. I’m crazy for Agile, but I want to understand how to pass my passion to other people gradually without destroying what they did in the past, making them understand what are the real and practical values behind Lean and Agile. In addition I deem it’s the right place to meet other people and share our experiences. Knowledge and experience sharing it’s the baseline for kaizen. So my contribute will be the experience I’m doing in my company who started adopting Agile methodologies since December 2011.
Marco Chiaverini
Learn how to scale lean and agile in my organization and network wirh agile coaches. I am happy to contribute by sharing my experiences in scrum and Kanban.

Vittorio Scibetta
I’d like to explore something about self coaching. Don’t know by now how to contribute. I think I’ll ask a lot of questions. Hope to meet old and new friends
Roberto Bettazzoni
I want to meet other coaches and some friends. In the coach camps the human relations build the most of the knowledge that you learn.
As learner I’m very interested by the soft skills. Last year I found a lot of very good ideas and hints.
As coach I can contribute with my experiences. This year I focused on the 4c method (Training from the back of the room) applied to the technical trainings. Eg: how to facilitate a code dojo or a C.I. group retrospective from the back of the room .

Alex Landini
I’m interested in attending the coaching camp to learn the agile techniques that can help me make work in a more exciting and effective way, and to grow professionally.

Stefano Sordi
I would like to learn more about Agile through the interation with other people getting inspired from their expiriences.

I want to learn new stuff. crossover stuff. Whatever I can learn. And I hope to get new inspirations from the Coach Camp as I did last year.
How do you plan to contribute?
I can add everything that I learned myself during my professional live within the last year. I can add a lot of questions. Of course I also would like to cross-pollinate in the sense of the ALE community and share stuff that I learned myself on agile community events.
Sven Tiffe
I’m mostly interested in networking and getting new ideas and inspiration from a different community than the German agile community.
I’d like to share my experiences and things I have learned at other coach camps and conferences, and I’d like to explore how to be agile without doing agile.
Carlo Beschi
1. I´ll come to learn from other people experience and expertise. Beside individual contributions I also expect to take grant advantage of group dynamics
2. I´ll bring my own knowhow and background, together with my doubts. I´ve invested a lot of time and energy in team management practices and experiments in this last year – this might be a focus for my contribution. Personal time and productivity management is also in my hot topics list. Together with agile and lean, sure …
Stefano Formaggi
Except for my bad experiences with traditional (dis-)organization, I can’t contribute very much. I can surely contribute more with question than with answers. But I’d like to learn more about agile, and hope the coach camp can be a wonderful occasion to improve my knowledge and learn from the experience from people already involved in agile development.
Emanuele Di Saverio
My main concern is about facilitating highly creative teams: the technology component can be minor or absent ins some cases.
I can contribute with insight on how a designer’s mind react when faced to processes – either traditional, agile, strict or loose.
A number or factors, models, and sometime stereotypes kick in, and you have to cope somehow.
Gianluca Padovani
1. I would explore the new techniques to manage large teams, to create strong and motivated team. Increase the trust between business people and technical people.
2. I could share my experience in leading a growing team, the difficult encountered to create a good environment where business people could interact with technical people.
Giulio Roggero

2. Introduce, play and improve the game “Agile – the Board Game”. I’ve created and published this game under CC license at http://code.google.com/p/agile-the-board-game. I’m using this game during my training courses and I’d like to improve it and share the experience with other participants. This can be also a starting point for other learning-by-doing games.

By asking thoughtful questions
Luca Sirri
This is my first experience in a coach camp, so I will come with great curiosity. My goal is to learn as much as possible from any person present in this camp and learn every new technique for “Agile Coaching”.
I do not know what would be my contribution, I have some experience in team building but not using special techniques, only creating just the right atmosphere.
Matteo Vaccari
What do I plan to learn/explore: I’ve read and heard many times about the PDCA cycle, metrics, A3 thinking, etc. I’ve seen teams gather reams of data and do nothing about it. I’d like to learn something about how to *use* numbers effectively.
My contribution: I’m a technical person. I think that all the agility in the world will come to nothing if we don’t add the magic sauce of effectiveness-at-programming. I’d like to share my experiences in the quest to become effective at programming in a team.
Fabio Coatti
Learn? how to best help in agile introduction my company..and explore how others are doing the same!

I will bring my personal approach to the agile world. I am a sort of newbie here cause I have started to discover some technique recently with huge benefit on my productive life. I’d like to explain how starting to follow the agile way is giving me more confidence about my daily schedule and about the code I produce.
Dimitar Bakardzhiev
I am a Kanban practitioner and I will try to share my experience with Kanban and Critical Chain.
At the camp I would like to go away a bit from the technicalities and get fresh idea about how to do the people-oriented activities such as motivation.

Pietro Di Bello
What do you plan to learn / explore at this camp?
In all these years, I’ve become a better programmer and a more professional and accountable team mate, but where I think I still fail is to be a good support for helping my team mates to work better, improve their skills and be more effective as a team.
So that’s something I’d like to learn.
Other themes I’d like to explore are:
* how to resolve conflicts in a team
* how to use retrospective and other self-reflection techniques to help improve the team work
How do I plan to contribute?
I’ll bring my experience (it’s not that long as a coach, anyway) and much curiosity.
Carlo Ballabio

Stefania Di Cristofalo
I’d like to explore similarities and differences between ICF Coaching and Agile Coaching. I am very interested in developing managers and teams, integrating soft and technical competences.
As I think agile organizations are those who develops everybody’s awareness as a part of a living-working-entity where collaboration rise from inspired human beings, I could contribute with a laughing yoga session or bioenergetic exercises to maintain the resilience state at work.
Alessandro amella
I want to learn from the agile community and to share interests in agile principles.

Tania Campanelli
I am interested in learning how to apply Agile methodology in non software contexts. Agile values and principles have a general applicability but which of the typical techniques/practices are meaningful in other contexts?
I would like to share issues and concerns resulting from my experience in managing projects involving multiple departments across my organization. Then I could also share my somewhat weird experience in preparing for Agile certification
Sean Fitzpatrick
I want to get “professional” in managing product development. In the past, I have been hired to: 1) manage the product launch of a big web site in Europe, 2) co-found a startup, 3) manage the product development of a music web site. I had to manage the Agile process at #2 and #3 and I really, really, want some external feedback and validation. It feels like the blind leading the blind!
