Meeting/Event Information

Topic:

Having fun and playing games provides an exciting and memorable forum to learn concepts. This session is going to focus on Agile and some of the concepts while playing some games and talking through how the games are representative of Agile concepts.

This session intends to be fun, but very educational.

If you are looking for ways to help reinforce your organization's Agile cultural evolution, or if you are looking to better understand what Agile means and is, please join us for an evening where Agile becomes more real. 

Presenter/Facilitator:

Jeff Johnson is an Agile Coach with Tata Consultancy Services based in Tampa, Florida. Midwest USA born and raised, his career and exploratory nature have taken him to 48 of the 50 US States and 34 countries with so many more to see. He relocated to the Agile world in 2011 after a decade and a half managing technology projects across the globe using “other” methods. He actively encourages those who have not made the leap to Agile – “Come on in! The water's great!”

Jeff is a member of the Tampa Bay, Florida, and Washington, DC, Agile communities including the Washington DC Scrum Users Group, the Tampa Bay Agile and Tampa ScrumMaster's Guild. He finds great value in the "Lean Coffees" that are popular in the Tampa/Orlando communities. Click here to see more about Jeff via the Scrum Alliance web site.

Sponsor:

Apex Systems was founded in Richmond, Virginia in 1995 by Brian Callaghan, Win Sheridan and Jeff Veatch, three friends who met at Virginia Tech.

They were inspired to start Apex for three main reasons:

• To treat job seekers better.
• To provide a better staffing service for companies.
• To build a company where the best recruiters, sales staff and infrastructure specialists would want to work.
