Agile Talks #10

Hi,

Agile Talks wants to bring together people who are passionate about software development and agile methods.

We will have two talks of maximum 30 minutes and after that two Open Space slots for around one hours.

The event ends with a group retrospective and with some conclusions from the participants.

Agile Talks is a great opportunity to both learn from other people's experiences and discuss your own topics during the Open Space.

First Talk: Ramona Nazarov - "Agile Product Management with Scrum". A glance within the product management role with SCRUM from envisioning the product to various techniques of applied methodology considering the teams, backlog, ceremonies following successful releases. Tips and tricks to develop a great PO role and avoid common mistakes.

Ramona: I am Sr Business Analyst at ACI Worldwide with 3 years experience within this role switching from several years of development. Now, as a Product Owner, I‘m coordinating and leading teams across various projects but I have experienced also the Scrum Master and Team Member roles and I have found beauty and motivation in each and every one of them . I have encountered challenges but I treated them as opportunities and what actually made the difference was my ambition to pursuit my passion. “Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion.” Simon Sinek

Second Talk: Robert Malai - "Communities of Practice. Benefits and Challenges". Share the experience of integrating a Community of Practice exercise in the company, where it impacts the agile development process.

Robert is working as an Engineering Manager at 3Pillar Global. Robert is extremely passionate about technology and engineering, which he has been managing for the last 15 years in various teams.
