modern, enterprise software development - It’s a small world after all

We’re excited to see you on Thursday, June 27, for the Merapar Meetup: “It’s a small world after all - How thinking small is changing software development big time”, we will be discussing the next steps in modern, enterprise software development beyond scrum and agile.
You’re welcome at our office from 18:00 onwards to grab a snack and drinks before we start at 19:00 with the MeetUp.

For this MeetUp we have invited Sander Hoogendoorn.

The world is changing fast. More precisely, the world is changing at increasing speed. This means things that were not possible five years ago come into reach. Incumbent organizations need to adapt fast to keep up with new competitors that use new technologies easier, faster and better than they do. As a result, every aspect of software changes towards smaller. Even smaller teams or even micro-teams, less management, flatter organizations, even shorter cycles, and smaller components.
During this energizing and high-paced talk Sander discusses the Cynefin model, shows why software development goes so terribly wrong, how to move beyond Scrum and enterprise agile, why self-organization is not as easy as it looks like, why continuous delivery leads to not doing projects or estimates anymore and why microservices are hard but essential as underlying foundation.

Agenda
18:00 Start with pizza and drinks
19:00 It’s a small world after all
20:30 Drinks
