Abstract

Self directed agile teams often don’t have hierarchical management. This session is about using psychological tools to influence team members who don’t report to you. If you need to influence others, this workshop will give you the tools. Through examples, exercises, and practice targeted to selling agile concepts, you will apply Cialdini’s psychological tools (reciprocity, scarcity, commitment consistency, authority, liking, and social proof) to craft persuasive positions.
