6.45pm Scrum through a Kaleidoscope and a Crystal Ball
- Rowan Bunning, CST

Scrum makes sense from multiple angles. In this session we will identify connections between Scrum and such diverse things as the household "to do" list, financial markets and the relatively new field of social complexity science! We will also look into the crystal ball to consider where Agile and Scrum might be heading. Much of this is based on emerging trends and initiatives currently in the pipeline. We conclude by reflecting on how we can each play a part in shaping how Agile progresses into the mainstream software development community in Australia.

7.30pm User Group Product Backlog session
This will be a whiteboard session open to the whole group to talk about where we want the group to go, lets define a mission statement/goal. Moving onto generating a product backlog in an agile manner.
