#### **Agile Yorkshire on Tour – Sheffield Meetup**

Agile Yorkshire is on the road again, and we are delighted to be returning to **Sheffield Hallam University** in partnership with **BCS South Yorkshire**. Join us for an evening of learning, collaboration, and community building with agile practitioners from across the region.
This special event will feature two inspiring talks:

🎤 **Fred Pernet**
***Execution Eats Strategy For Breakfast … unless You Measure It***
Fred will explore why so many strategies fail, not because they are wrong but because they are not executed well. He will introduce the SEM360 maturity benchmarking tool, showing how leaders and teams can better connect strategy with delivery for lasting results.

🎤 **Tom Hoyland**
***What Happens in There…***
Tom will share practical tools and methods, including facilitation techniques and clean language, to help teams reduce friction and create the conditions for focus, creativity, and innovation. His interactive talk will shine a light on the human side of agile ways of working.
Alongside the talks, there will be plenty of opportunity to meet and connect with other professionals, exchange ideas, and strengthen the agile community across Yorkshire.

**🎙Stuart Grimshaw**
**Talk:** *What Does Agile Actually Mean for Developers?*
Agile isn't just about stand-ups and ceremonies—so what does it *really* mean for developers? Stuart will explore the practical day-to-day working practices and mindset shifts that developers need to embrace in order to succeed in agile environments. With over 30 years of experience across sectors including e-commerce, government, and big data, Stuart brings a wealth of insight into what truly makes agile work at the developer level.

**🎙 Mike Burrows**
**Talk:** *Introducing the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation*
Mike introduces a fresh and complexity-aware model for organisational design, based on his latest book *Wholehearted*. Discover how the **Deliberately Adaptive Organisation** builds on Stafford Beer’s Viable System Model and offers a modern, participatory approach to change and strategy. Mike’s work at the intersection of Lean, Agile, and organisational development has shaped thinking across industries, and this talk is not to be missed.

Agile Yorkshire Meetup - 08 October 2025

**From MVP to Market Fit: Lessons from Founders & Funders**
This event explores one of the toughest phases of product development — moving from Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to achieving product-market fit.
The session begins with a quick-fire talk from Royd Brayshaw (NewRedo) on the essentials of building a true MVP — what to measure, common mistakes, and how to shift from building to learning.

The main session is a panel discussion, *The Journey to Market Fit*, hosted by Rachel Swann, featuring founders and investors who have navigated pivots, scaled products, and backed successful ventures:

* Saile Villegas (Seeai)
* Paul Howell (Arquella)
* Royd Brayshaw (NewRedo)
* Lizzie Young (Par Equity)

**Topics include:**

* Reading the right signals and avoiding vanity metrics
* Building user feedback loops and balancing features with focus
* Deciding when to pivot or persevere
* Recognising product-market fit and scaling with confidence

**Key takeaways:**
Attendees will gain practical frameworks, decision-making tools, and real-world lessons from those who have done it before — together with the opportunity to connect with peers facing the same challenges.

**Agenda:**
10:00 - 10:30: Registration, Refreshments and Networking
10:00 - 10:35: Welcome Introduction
10:35 - 10:45: Presentation MVP Essentials
10:45 - 11:45: Panel Discussion: The Journey to Market Fit
