Back to the future! Let's travel through time with Agile Manifesto and try to predict our future

Let’s reflect on Agile transformation of IT organisations and try to predict the future of Agile movement.
It has been 20 years since the Agile manifesto was introduced. Our software development industry has been changing so fast since 2001. Nowadays it has changed even more impacted by a pandemic world.
In my talk I would like to reflect on how the Agile approach has evolved over these years. I will share with you the experience I gained while transforming IT organisations towards Agile using different Agile scaling methods. Together we are going to discover the future of Agile movement especially in the context of the post-pandemic world.

Be Agile, Be DevOps, be well.
Quickie Times of pandemic are challenging for those of us who want to thrive and not only survive at work. How to foster collaboration in the team, build trust and a creative working environment if everything is remote? How to become fulfilled at work? In my talk I would like to share with you how agile and devops can help us answer the questions above. We will also discuss the future of an agile movement especially in the context of the post-pandemic world. I will give you practical examples based on my experience not only as a manager, but also from the times I was developing software.

Running in circles - how an organization ends up building the same application over and over
Conference Obviously the software creation process is a multi-facet affair. When the board sets a new direction for the company, commercial stakeholders need to come up with new ideas, POs build a product that fits the ideas, architects design, engineers implement. Congratulations all around! We have a new system! Too bad that it’s exactly the same as our old one… Let’s dive into why even when everyone at every stage of a project seems to want to build “the new”, we end up with same ol’ same ol’.
Scheduled on Thursday from 09:10 to 10:00 in Room 2
