About us
Welcome to the Scrum Master Meetup!
Born in the heart of Cape Town, this meetup started with in-person gatherings filled with real conversations, powerful insights, and the kind of meaningful connections that sparked growth for Agile professionals across roles and industries.
Now, we're bringing that same energy and impact online—so you can keep growing, learning, and connecting no matter where you are.
Whether you're a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, Product Owner, or just someone passionate about agility, this is your space. A space to learn, ask bold questions, challenge your thinking, and walk away inspired.
✨ What to expect:
- Insightful talks from local and global Agile voices
- Panel discussions that spark fresh perspectives
- Ask the Expert sessions where nothing is off-limits
- Interactive workshops to sharpen your practice
- Real stories from real teams making agility work
- And of course—a community that connects
Agile is about continuous improvement. So is this community.
Come as you are—leave with something new.

Are You Getting Real Value from PI Planning… or Just Going Through the Motions?
·OnlineOnline## Rethinking Big Room / PI Planning
Most organisations invest a lot of time and energy into Big Room / PI Planning… but walk away with the same problems:
Unclear priorities.
Hidden dependencies.
Too many conversations — and not the right ones.So what if the problem isn’t the event… but how we run it?
In this session, Bevan and Malene will take you on a journey through their endless experiments with Big Room Planning — what worked, what didn’t, and what they had to completely rethink along the way.
This is not theory. It’s real-world lessons from trying, failing, adjusting, and improving across different organisations.
We’ll explore how to:
- Cut Big Room Planning down to half a day — without losing value
- Shift the focus from output to real outcomes
- Create the right conversations, not just more conversations
- Surface and handle dependencies and risks early
- Avoid the common traps that turn planning into a checkbox exercise
And most importantly — we’ll open it up:
What are you struggling with, and how can we make these events actually work for you?If you’ve ever walked out of a planning session thinking “this should have been better” — this one is for you.
Bring your curiosity.
Bring your skepticism.Let’s move from talking to impact — and start changing what really matters.
