#LiftingOff
Hi, Steve and Deb here:
(traduction français ici)
You’ve probably arrived here via the #liftingoff hashtag. So, what’s it about?
It starts here: we hate to see teams struggle. Too many teams are using retrospectives to repair misunderstandings that effective team chartering could have averted. We also believe that many already-running projects and teams would benefit from this practice! Why aren’t more teams doing chartering?
So we invited Diana Larsen and Ainsley Nies, and an internationally diverse table-ful of colleagues who share a passion for doing this work, to come together for 3 days to find a way to promote Agile chartering.

Our (Deb and Steve’s) vision is:
To grow healthier work environments by using and promoting a proactive approach to initiating and chartering projects (such as the approach described in the book LiftOff by Diana Larsen and Ainsley Nies). We want to learn to be better LiftOff practitioners ourselves, and we want to help others learn.
We don’t know what happens next.
Stay tuned to the #liftingoff hashtag if you are curious.
