Agility Situated

 There are few doubts about the intrinsic value of agile practices: well applied by the right people, they do wonders, on the right problem. But are they always suited to the task? Software projects and software development organizations cover a wide spectrum. We contend that most of the value of any software development practice depends on its context. We will share some experiences of applying agile practices far from their sweet spot, leading to the concept of situated agile processes.

  • "What other positions other than PM might fit me?”

In this session, Joe will share his insights and lessons learned from this own career “evolution”. We will also explore some of the psychological barriers that you may encounter when contemplating your next move.
By sharing from each other’s experience, we will build up a mini-toolbox of advises that you can take home with you. If you have been thinking of the next step in your career, the toolbox will give you a head-start on what to do next.
