Agile Methodologies Applied - Real World Use Cases

Hi @ all!

Summer break is over and we're thrilled to get started again. This time we're going all Agile.Heads up: this time we'll have our Meetup on Thursday instead of Monday.

This meetup is really all about sharing experiences by getting insights into practical applications of Agile methodologies in real world use cases. We will start with a talk presented by Alex Benincà followed by a Q&A session and open discussion, during which I'm happy to announce that the guys from XPeppers (https://www.xpeppers.com/en/)will join the session and contribute their stories as well.

Talk: Scrum and Agile as a Catalyst for Great Product DevelopmentAlex Benincà

We hear a lot about Scrum. It is used in daily lingo, but few actually apply it to gauge its strengths. In this talk we will have a practical look at Scrum, how we apply it in both software development and in organizing our company. Three case studies will give real live examples, with the goal of showing how Scrum can be applied in different situations to make teams more efficient, by relying on team member's talents.
