Agile safari: visit MindCandy and hear how they work, in context
Come and hear MindCandy share how they work, at their offices in Shoreditch.
MindCandy develops new types of Multi-Player Online Games. After their first game Perplex City, they are now entirely focused on Moshi Monsters, the global phenomenon that is expanding offline into many new entertainment formats such as trading cards, magazines, books, music, toys and films. The company is a venture capital-backed startup.
Currently they are moving fast, collaborating using agile thinking, and we'll hear about their successes, challenges, and how UX and design are being integrated.
There's space for up to 35 people, so be quick, and please update your RSVP status if you can't make it anymore.

I manage an agile soft dev team in the travel industry and am keen to hook up with any other agile teams to organise a half/1/2 day "Agile Safari Swap" - let me know if interested!

Nathanael RouillardExcellent meetup. Was great to see how others dealt with the challenges of UX and Agile. Certainly met interesting people, and learned a lot that will take time to process and filter into my own environment where appropriate.
-
Richard MorrisVery interesting - thanks to Mind Candy and Johanna for putting this together. It was very open and generous and a real inspiration to other companies.
-
Anja MaerzGreat to meet the team who works agile in their environment and get a bit of insight in the tools they use and how they collaborate. Great as well to chat to them and ask specific questions.

Boon Y. ChewVery generous of MindCandy to open up their offices to us and show us how they work. They were extremely friendly as well, which goes to show that culture is a big component in agile teams.
