Agile and DevOps during the lifecycle of developing a digital service

We're excited to announce a joint meetup between Agile Sheffield and Sheffield DevOps.

In this event we will describe how Agile ways of working are introduced through a typical digital delivery project and how they work to support DevOps in the build of a digital service.

The event will be hosted by Richard Joseph from Agile Sheffield and Jared Holgate from Sheffield DevOps.

Richard is an experienced Agile Coach, with a wealth of experience working across the UK in the public sector and providing training and coaching services to many companies in Sheffield.

Jared is an experienced DevOps engineer currently working for Microsoft.

Doors open at 6pm, for meet & greet & networking with pizza and beverages kindly provided by our hosts at BJSS.

The session will start at 6:30 and we should be all wrapped up by 8:30pm.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Between spaces, scopes, and scales: What the scaling frameworks don’t tell you!

In a viable, deliberately adaptive organisation, how do the relationships between different organisational scales work?

Or the same question, but for the networked organisation?

And what does that mean for me?

Drawn from the Agendashift Academy’s latest module “Adaptive Organisation: Business agility at every scale”, this new talk integrates systems, complexity, and flow thinking (models such as the viable system model, the Cynefin framework, and Flight Levels) and shows how that with or without branded frameworks, many scale-related challenges reflect deep organisational imbalances that we can learn to recognise and address.

Feel free to bring your questions and your sharing spirit to this conversation.
