This month our agile meetup eve
nt is going to be a talk delivered by one of our members - Rizwan Ullah.
Agile projects in Cross Cultural teams:
As Waterfall approach
to software development is gradually becoming history\, agile software de
velopment methodology has become the present and future of software develo
pment. The impact has been huge and its tailored forms have been adopted i
n other engineering disciplines.
Most people in the field of techno
logy now understand the meaning of terms such as MVP\, backlog refinement\
, sprint planning\, reviews and retrospectives.
Over the past couple of
decades those teams have become more increasingly cross cultural. Culture
is defined as the programming of the mind and statistically speaking cros
s cultural teams either do really well\, or not well at all. So\, they are
on either side of the bell curve.
This talk will focus on how some app
reciation of culture can be leveraged into making a cross cultural team mo
re effective. The talk will at least aim to answer a few questions\, if no
t then at least raise a few more!
Rizwan has been working in IT ind
ustry for over 19 years. Recently he has been working as a senior Java dev
eloper at Hermes and he has previously he has worked for Learndirect\, DWP
\, Nokia\, BJSS\, Saudi Telecom and Thales Group.
He holds an MSc (Eng)
in Control System from the University of Sheffield and also an MBA from t
he Bradford University School of Management.
Meet at 6:30 for a 7pm
start.
Aim to finish by around 9pm.
