What the Military Taught Me About Teams (That Most Companies Get Wrong)
Most teams struggle, not because people aren’t trying, but because they’re set up to fail. Drawing from his military experience and the research-backed 6 Team Conditions model by Hackman and Wageman, Martin shares what truly makes teams effective. This talk connects those insights with the real heart of Agile, from Scrum, XP, and The New New Product Development Game to Marty Cagan’s product teams, all proving that great teams need the right structure, not just process.

What I liked most about the summit was the sense of community. Seeing familiar faces in the sessions made it feel like we were in the same room, despite participants joining from all over the world!
Sharing knowledge is at the heart of our Xebia values, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a global online conference. Together, we grow, learn, and inspire—across borders and beyond boundaries.
The summit was a fantastic experience with high engagement. The host kept the event energised, and big kudos to everyone whose dedication and commitment made this great event happen.
