TOPIC ABSTRACT:
Vanitha's presentation/discussion called, "Everyday Agile" will be based on applying an Agile mindset to everyday life. Anything that is overwhelming to the modern day individual can be broken down into chunks that can be delivered over an amount of time. Vanitha will explain how she applies the role of a Product Owner when she teaches Indian Classical Music - her students are the team members and parents are the Scrum Masters. Applying agile methodology has helped her students keep up classical music through high school/college amidst academic demands. She will demonstrate that once you're in the Agile mindset, it's easy to apply to every day personal hobbies, raising children, cooking, etc.
