Forging a Career Path in Unstructured Teams

If there are no defined roles on an Agile development team, how do team members understand the skills they need to grow, feel a sense of progression in their careers and get ahead? Far too often, their answer is to look for a new job.

This session is targeted at developers and their mentors. It will identify the skills required to be a holistic developer, a natural progression for achieving those skills, and how companies can create a culture of continuous learning to improve their IT teams and retain staff.
