How We Build Together — Communities at Essent & Rabobank

LINK FOR REGISTRATION IS HERE!

Would you like to learn more about communities and their contribution to collaboration and organizational learning? Organised by Young Agile Consortium & LeSS NL, hosted at Essent. Robin Jonker and Jesse Schlienkamp from Essent are sharing their insights about engineering communities and how they are a fundamental part of faster software delivery at Essent. They create space for engineers to solve problems at scale, exchange ideas, and collaborate beyond their regular day-to-day work.
The TypeScript Backend community has been such a success that its members are now reflecting on what makes it work so well. In doing so, they’ve identified structural patterns that could be applied to other communities, helping engineers collaborate effectively in ever larger groups.
Chris Stapper, our second speaker from Rabobank, where they have over 100 communities, will share how communities are set up, what contributes to their success/scalability. He will touch on the relation to the Simplify@Scale operating model and how communities contribute to knowledge sharing and transparency. This is your opportunity to ask him questions about the differences with LeSS.
In this meetup, the speakers will share what they’ve learned and open the conversation to others who are building or scaling communities themselves. Together with the audience, they will explore what it means to build and sustain engineering communities at scale, and learn from each other’s successes and challenges.
