Martin Hinshelwood - Agile, Scrum, XP, Kanban practice

Since the introduction of the waterfall model in 1970 as an approach for software development projects, a lot has evolved. In the 1990s similar ideas around iterative and agile software development were introduced simultaneously in more and more organizations and projects, resulting in the agile manifesto. During this workshop, you will get a dive into how agile projects operate, independent of any specific approach.

Project managers who would like to find out how their role changes completely in agile and flow-based approaches 4.

Business analysts, functional analysts, developers, and for sure testers who want to understand if and how their design techniques fit in agile, and how their roles change 6.
