4th Agile Beer Global; Online: The Virtual Ball Game

Let's get ready for our 4th Global Agile Beer - online, English edition :)

This time, we have the pleasure to bring Ali Cox to our event, to share with us how to do the famous 'Ball Game' in the virtual environment. The idea is for Ali to teach us what she knows, and then, you will have a chance to facilitate the game too!

About our Presenter:

Alison (Ali) Cox has experience since the mid-1980s in various areas, including business analysis, agile, project methodology development and training, systems development (mainframe, client-server, and web), and telecommunications management. She began her career in the financial services area, and then moved into systems development for accounting systems.

Ali has lived through IT initiatives from waterfall to implementing agile in her own small business, then helping other companies do the same through training and mentoring. She believes that having the small business mentality (everyone has to pitch in on everything) is the right kind of mindset for all organizations, no matter the size.

As Lead Expert in Business Analysis + Agile and General Manager for Netmind, Ali provides training and mentoring for businesses ranging in size from a single team to Fortune 500 companies worldwide. She also speaks Spanish fluently!

Alison is also a partner of TEMSS (Telecommunications Efficiency Management Strategies and Services), which provides telecommunications efficiency auditing and billing analysis services to clients in all areas of business across the United States. She completed her Master of Business Administration in MIS and Accounting from the University of Georgia.
