Thanks to all those who joined us at the October meetup. A massive thanks is also in order for Codeweavers for graciously hosting our event once again. Your continued support is genuinely appreciated!
Our guest speaker, Mark Warner, delivered his talk drawing an interesting parallel between Agile methodologies and ice skating, highlighting the importance of proper guidance and training in both areas. Giving valuable insights into avoiding common pitfalls and creating a smoother path to success.
We wrapped up with our open discussion session led by Natasha. The topics spanned from JavaScript runtimes named after baked goods to more serious matters, such as the trust concerns arising from Moq’s collection of email addresses. Notably, nothing AI related this time!
Mark your calendars for the last meetup of 2023, scheduled for November 9th. Whether it’s your first meetup or you’re a regular, RSVP now to reserve your spot. We can’t wait to see you there!

A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing
Mark Warner — Agile Coach, Kantar
Would you try a new sport that involves risk of injury or harm without some form of guidance, training, or coaching? For most people, the answer is likely to be a very firm no. In contrast, organisations and teams new to Agile, or scaling, often adopt a we’ll try it anyway approach. The results vary from wasted time to delivery disasters. As a keen amateur figure skater, I have found that my journey from first stepping onto the ice to successfully competing, closely mirrors how teams attempt to apply Agile. You’ll learn how, with Agile as with ice skating, many slips and falls can be avoided. You’ll discover some warning signs to look out for and actions you can take towards a smoother, safer winning team.
