Agile West Midlands

Agile West Mids is back at the new home of the STEAMHouse powered by Birmingham City University, sponsored by Xpertise Recruitment!

We have 2 speakers over the evening, the first is Igor Stimoli from bjss and the other is David Lilley from Birmingham City Council.

Whilst we find many delivery managers tend to prefer working with Scrum, Igor will be talking about what really goes into Kanban, how it’s not “scrum without the ceremonies” at all and often can involve more effort to implement. This talk also shows the advantages of using Kanban for certain types of projects. It will create a great discussion around Kanban for future projects.

Igor is a delivery manager at one of our bjss chapters, trained PSM 2 level and SPS scaled professional scrum and recently certified in “PSK - Professional Scrum with Kanban”.

David will realease his topic ASAP.

Please join us for free drinks, pizza and networking, to discuss what we can do in the future together as a community.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
