Thank you for attending my session at GSGNOLA 2024!

It was my pleasure to share insights and strategies on embracing neurodiversity within Scrum teams. I believe that we can make small, intentional adjustments that can significantly enhance team productivity and inclusivity. These skills are becoming even more essential in today's world for Scrum Masters and Coaches who are looking for ways to remain competitive, adapt, and provide additional value to their organizations.

If you're interested in exploring this topic further, here are some key resources from my talk:

• Podcast Discussion on Neurodiversity:
  Join Susan Fitzell and me as we delve into neurodiversity on the Agile Mentors Podcast. Listen here.
• Autism @ Work Playbook:
  This resource includes case studies from JP Morgan Chase, Microsoft, and SAP and provides practical strategies for adapting workplaces for autistic individuals. Read the playbook.
• Harvard Business Review Article:

Thank you for choosing to spend part of your conference with me. I hope these resources inspire you to continue making your teams more inclusive of neurodivergent individuals.

Sincerely,
Brian Milner
