As popular as Agile is, its success rate is not particularly high. Your three hosts believe this is because most organizations are being led by cargo cult and echo chambers. Many brilliant and proven concepts are not in any of the more popular approaches. This has resulted in a huge gap between what is possible and what is being achieved. The Uncommon Sense sessions will present many concepts that organizations should be using but that are not popular while also uncover myths present in popular methods that are holding organizations back.The hosts of Uncommon sense are either creators of cutting-edge, but proven approaches and/or experts in Agile and Lean methods. This will ensure you get both the theory and the practice of the methods being described.

- Stakeholder Engineering: not merely “customer and user” – Stakeholder Stores, Stakeholder Xperience (SX not UX)
