AGENDA

1. Introduction (19:00-19:30)
Everyone says a few words about themselves and what they do. This way we can proceed to discuss more interesting topics already knowing a bit about each other.

2. Lightning talks (5-10 minutes each)
The topic this time is "Feature Planning".

You are welcome to share any personal insights related to technical planning, design stage and management of the feature planning process.

• If you feel comfortable presenting and have something to share, you should consider doing so :) This is not a formal event and it's normal to prepare material and see if you feel comfortable on the spot.
• It is recommended to prepare an outline for yourself so you don't lose track of what you wanted to say. Slides are optional, however projector is available.
• If you'd like to give a talk on a different topic, consider asking about it in the LINE group.

3. Sharing personal projects and challenges
The core of our event is everyone sharing what they've been working on. You can talk about any solutions you think may be interesting to others or talk about the challenges you are facing.

It goes without saying, you should not disclose specific confidential information related to your employment.

4. Free conversation and exchange of ideas
The remaining time is allocated to free discussions and brainstorming sessions.

ABOUT THIS GROUP

The purpose of the SaaS Workshop is to connect makers, such as software engineers, data scientists, designers and product managers. This is an opportunity to help each other, go outside of your comfort zone and be motivated to develop new skills.

Is this event in Mandarin or in English?
The main language of this event is English, however this is also meant to be a language exchange opportunity, so no need to worry if your English or Mandarin are not very good.

Junior or senior?
Any level from beginner to very senior is welcome, but please set expectations according to your level (to learn, to offer help and coaching to others, or better both).

Are students also welcome?
