In Ágiles2010 not only there were presentations but also there was discussion about topics of interest. In order to organize this the agenda had about an hour dedicated to “Open Space”. The system was the same followed in the Agile Open Space in Montevideo, on September, and more details about this can be found here.
Basically participants present the topics they want to talk about, they do not need to have a presentation prepared, they just need to be interested in discussing the topic and should be responsible of conducting the discussion. Then people vote the most interesting topics and according to the time and space available a limited number of topics are selected. Then those topics are assigned to different spaces and people go to their discussion of preference to participate there.
According to the user guide created by Harrison Owen there are only four principles and one law:
- Whoever comes is the right people
- Whenever it starts is the right time
- Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
- When it's over, it's over
The law is known as the "Law of Two Feet": If at any time during our time together you find yourself in any situation where you are neither learning nor contributing, use your two feet, go someplace else.
