Accelerating from Opportunities to High Value Solutions
Presenter: Ray Arell
FeedbackInnovation programs within companies has fallen trap to a chronic misuse of the word, to the point most programs are shoehorned into traditional project management frameworks that focus more on the word than addressing the need—enabling the inventor, intrapreneur, and entrepreneur. In this talk, Ray Arell will talk about how to create the right environments and methods that allow true innovation to thrive. This will include an overview of Innovation Hubs, methods like Solutions Thinking, establishing networks of innovators via communities of practice, and other key methods/tools that can help accelerating your time to value.
Agile everywhere - what on earth do Agile and Lean have to do with recruitment?Presenter: Wojciech Seliga
FeedbackAgile was born in the software development world. But it quickly started spreading like wildfire into other areas finally reaching also Human Resource - historically one of more conservative departments. Together with Lean thinking it starts to seriously transform the way how HR personnel work.
This session presents how Agile values and practices accompanied with Lean paradigms help improve one of focal points for HR in any companies - recruitment of new employees - especially challenging in the extremely competitive IT industry
At Spartez we have been using Agile and Lean approach for hiring new employees for many years. We have processed thousands of applicants, we’ve carried out hundreds of interviews, we've hired dozens of great people who became our greatest asset. We have been iterating constantly and improving our process and we've learnt a lot from it. We strongly believe that applying Agile and Lean approach to recruitment should also help your company to be more effective and successful with the recruitment process. If you are interested to see why and how - this is the session for you.
Cardinal Sins of our Daily Scrums/Daily Stand-UpsPresenter: Marcin BukowskiFeedbackScrum is a methodology largely revolving around a variety of meetings. We have our Sprint Planning meeting, our Sprint Review meeting, our Sprint Retrospective meeting and sometimes even our Backlog Grooming. It’s no secret, that the pithiest and most frequent of them all is our Daily Stand-Up, sometimes also referred to as Daily Scrum.
In my presentation I would like to pinpoint some of the most common, yet most crippling, flaws occurring during our Daily Scrum meetings. I will also suggest some useful hints on how to overcome these flaws and thus how to improve your average Daily Scrum meeting, to get the most of it.
