Learning Objectives:

What can our attendees expect to take away from the session?

● Explore the motivations and journey to the Comic Agile book
● Exploratory conversation around some common Agile adoption fails
● Discussions around why Agility is challenging in many enterprises

Here's some more on our awesome guests for this session:

Mikkel Noe-Nygaard holds an MA in Architecture with a background in sustainable buildings and a speciality in Communications Design, but has always been working with user experience in software. Mikkel designs both hyper-complex cloud-based expert tools and simple mobile applications with the same pride, and always puts the user first in aesthetic, efficient solutions. After 20 years of software enterprise experience, spanning diverse areas such as public health care and insurance, pension fund investments, tax and property registration and, at the time of writing, sustainable energy at Vestas, Mikkel has found his second calling as a cartoonist!

Luxshan Ratnaravi holds an MSc in Software Engineering and is an Agile Coach with the Danish financial software solutions provider Bankdata. He’s constantly on a mission of improving the status quo from his position between being an agile ideologist and a pragmatic problem-solver

Luxshan’s professional mission in life, which has taken him through jobs as, e.g., IT Business Analyst, Product Owner, Release Train Engineer and Agile Coach, is to relentlessly improve companies by challenging their worn-out habits, reinforcing their purpose and helping them in continuously improving their practices through the awesome values, principles and practices from the agile space.
