Scrum and Agile Software Development by Aki Namioka

In 2017, more than 50% of the IT organizations in this country have adopted Agile, and the demand keeps growing. Why? What is so compelling about Agile? This meeting will start with a short introduction to Agile, and then Aki will use the interests of the audience to guide the rest of the conversation.

Topics can include, but are not limited to: Agile adoption, Agile practices, benefits of Agile, and trends in Agile organizations. Bring your burning questions to the meeting for a fun engaged dialog about Agile, Scrum, XP, etc.

She is currently a Senior Agile Consultant with Plaster Group, and has helped several organizations transform into high-functioning Agile teams, using XP, Scrum, and Kanban.
