Programme

Scrum Introspection: What Lies in the Shadows
Scrum is a core of applied Agile, first introduced in 1990. It promises much in terms of delivery of good software with transparency, inspection, and adaptation — twice the work in half the time. Failure to meet those goals is generally laid down at the feet of “you're doing it wrong”, sometimes even with good reasons. However, is scrum actually good at helping teams deliver good software? What are the bad and ugly things lurking under the shadow of scrum's promises? It is important to explore these criticisms to understand where Scrum might fall short and how it can be improved. Introspection matters.

As an accomplished leader in greenfield project management, Yann adeptly incorporates security protocols from the project's inception, thereby emphasising a proactive Shift Left approach. During his quarter of a century career, Yann has gained extensive experience in all aspects of Cybersecurity and information security governance, multidisciplinary team & project management, and software engineering. He managed the largest email system in Europe, created mathematical models of road and telecommunication networks, optimised sub-manometer metrology on silicon wafers, and programmed giant underwater robots.
Disrupting the Flow
Flow Metrics and Forecasting are hot topics in Agile but often people become bogged down in the charts and can be put off by the maths and statistics behind them. How many times have you showed your multicoloured super graph to a team and they have no idea what it actually means? I aim to (re)introduce you to these topics in a way that anyone can digest, without presenting endless Jira Search Queries and Burn Down chats.
