Fri, Oct 6, 2023, 1:00 AM UTCAgile? Scrum? What's the difference?
Link visible for attendees
Looking at job postings you will find that some companies are using scrum. Others are using agile project management or agile development. Several are hiring agile project managers or even agile scrum masters. What gives?! This session will clarify the difference between agile and scrum and how they connect. It's geared for beginners but even veterans will learn something new. (I did while creating it!)

Our Presenter (In his own words):

My name is Oren Gotesman, I started my career in customer support, grew into project management and found out about scrum at a meetup event that took place at a Round Table Pizza. I run an online community with over 1500 members where we talk about common project management and scrum master issues (I’m way more fun at parties than this makes me sound). I live in San Jose with my beautiful wife and daughter. My backyard has a worm farm that takes my scrap food and converts it into compost (My sister gave me this after she accidentally won 5th place in a raffle - she was trying to win a Tesla.) Every year on my birthday I host an annual pickleball tournament with close family and friends. It’s a great game if you’ve never played.

Link visible for attendees
Lunchtime MeetUp!

As coaches, we're keen to ensure our client gets an agile mindset. But is it possible that it's YOU sabotaging your client's agile transformation? We'll explore the thought habits and patterns that can get in our way: our saboteurs. Come meet the characters behind the scenes, and get into the science behind it all. Learn to describe your saboteur patterns and the impact they may be having on your agile transformation. You'll come away with resources and tools to 'turn down the volume' on your saboteurs and build your own mental fitness and agility.

To get the most from this session, you can do the following optional pre-work:

Watch this TED Talk: Know your inner saboteurs: Shirzad Chamine at TEDxStanford
