Bio:
Mark studied communication engineering and started his professional carrier as a software developer at Siemens AG in 1997. In the following years he acquired profound knowledge about software development, from analysis to integration practices in the enterprise environment.
After first inspiring experiences with agile methodologies he changed to the joint-venture of Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) in 2007. He worked with different teams as a Scrum Master and from 2009 additionally as an agile coach within NSN. While coaching in Germany, India and China agile-offshore product development groups (Large Scale Scrum, more than 260 developers, about 28 Scrum teams), he was able to gain a lot of experience.
He created the Team-Knowledge-Model to visualize the knowledge distribution in a team. The team members can reflect on this model if they have the right knowledge in their team or if they need team external knowledge. Who can provide help? Who needs help? Afterwards they can agree on concrete measures to improve individuals and the team.Summary: TBD
- Agile Sustainability, w/ Jutta Eckstein (2023 LeSS Conference, Keynote Speaker)Needs location
THIS IS A GREAT AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE 2023 LESS CONFERENCE KEYNOTE SPEAKER TO PRESENT GLOBALLY THROUGH THIS COMMUNITY.
Bio:
Jutta works as a coach & consultant. She has founded the “Agile Sustainability Initiative” and co-created a sustainability assessment. Both focus on the environmental, social, and economic impact of agile teams.
She has published her experience in various books, most recently Company-wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space & Sociocracy.Abstract:
According to one forecast, IT will account for 21% of global energy consumption by 2030. If we don't change the way we implement software, we will contribute to increasing the carbon footprint. So, it's time to examine how agility can help to reduce energy consumption and ensure greater - environmental, social & economic - sustainability. The point is not to pursue sustainability for altruistic reasons, but to understand that over time, sustainability is also becoming a key factor that determines the success of companies, both in the search for talent and for customers and markets.Description:
In this session, inspect real data and gain a holistic perspective of your team’s or company’s current situation regarding agile sustainability. Comparative Agile Sustainability is an approach that we created in a small team with the support of data analysts that serves to anchor and promote the awareness of sustainability in an (agile) team and/or company. The evaluation was published under creative commons and is therefore freely available to all interested parties. By using the results of this validated assessment, agile teams and organizations can better understand how they can increase their own effectiveness and contribute to increasing sustainability across the industry.
