Back from Essap

Back Home (italian one), back from Essap (European Summer School on Agile Programming). A nice week spent at Villa Toeplitz with people coming from different countries. A nice week spent in understanding agile methodologies and extreme programming in an ideal environment where I've improved my skills thanks to a group of people which is the state of the art in this field as before.

New concepts in my mind, new interesting people, several different points of views worth to be shared in rhythm of pomodoris. Time is passed by this red things, among source codes, baloons, user stories, acceptance tests, test driven developments hanged over coaches using situational leadership concepts. Pretty cool if you think we all are software engineerings. Backing up using lego, building up nice colored structures in a team, sharing roastes to improve the quality, appreciating good ideas and motivating force people to increase the sense of aggregation and to feel better.

Think at yourself, answer your questions, start building up concepts, test what you are doing and refactor your mind: if you succeed importing these things to your work, to your team and to your life as well, I guess you will feel more relaxed, happy, energetic, full of power. Don't forget doing retrospective at the end of this process...standing-up, of course
