People+Tech: Continuing the Agile Revolution...

Hi there People+Tech community,

Once again, we will meet in our office, with some pizza and cold drinks to discuss different perspectives (and use cases) on still a very hot term - ''agile''.
After that, we will have a free time slot, where you can bring up your own topic for a talk or a discussion, up to you!
Good food and drinks guaranteed, throughout the event. ;)

Here is exactly what's on the menu:

• 18:00 - Intro by METRO.digital
• 18:05 - ''The Agile Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet'' by Mark-Andre Hopf, METRO.digital
• 18:45 - free slots (2 x 5 min) for your topic!
• 19:00 - Beer o'clock!

More about the speaker and the talk:

1. ''The Agile Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet''
“The word 'agile' has been subverted to the point where it is effectively meaningless” — Dave Thomas
“Get rid of the Agile Industrial Complex.” — Martin Fowler
“Something has gone awful.” — Robert C. Martin
“[Waterfall] It’s back! ... And there’s new words put to it.” — Kent Beck
This talk attempts to explain "Agile" by looking at it's history and how "Agile" might be even more radical than you've ever thought possible.

Mark-Andre wrote games in BASIC/Assembler in the 80ties, Windows and UNIX Apps in C++ in the 90ties, Linux System Programming and WebApps in C/C++/JavaScript in the 2000ties, WebApps in Kotlin/TypeScript for the last 4 years.

Mark-Andre in Free Software, Software Craftsmanship, Extreme Programming, Developer Anarchy and Lean/TPS. Just began learning Smalltalk and LISP. He also fills GitHub, Blender and Logic Pro for fun. Also reads books, rides a bicycle, eats cake.

Join us on the 28th in our Berlin office and share with us some passion for food and hunger for tech!
