Our line-up:

🎤 Talk: Scrum Isn’t Broken – Your Understanding Is
Tired of hearing that “Scrum doesn’t work”? In this energising session, Steve peels Scrum back to its essential elements—Artefacts, Commitments, Accountabilities, Events, and Values—to reveal where misuse and misunderstanding commonly derail success.
Presenter: Steve Trapps
Professional Trainer at Scrum.org & ProKanban.org | ICF-Certified Agile Coach
Steve is a seasoned agile and delivery expert with over 25 years of experience helping teams deliver real value. One of only a few UK professionals accredited by both Scrum.org and the International Coaching Federation, Steve brings deep expertise to agile coaching and team development.

🎤 Talk: Roadmaps – Joining the Dots Between Product, Architecture and Management
Most roadmaps prioritise features—but overlook alignment between product, technology, and leadership. In this session, James will show how to create shared roadmaps that support meaningful conversations across functions and deliver what truly matters.
Presenter: James Pels
Founder of Proven EA | Agile Strategist & Practical Change Leader
James has over two decades of experience guiding agile transformations across sectors such as defence, healthcare, and finance. As the creator of the Proven EA Toolkit, he helps organisations align strategy, architecture, and delivery through practical, actionable methods.
