So Scan-Agile is coming up on the 8:th of March.
I’ll try to forsee what I’ll go watch from http://scan-agile.org/program/.
10:00
Venkat Subramaniam:
How to approach Refactoring – key step to agility
I’ve seen Venkat a couple of times and he’s a solid technical presenter.
Here he is presenting scala:
If the topic (Refactoring) interests you it’ll probably be a worthwile.
I think I know enough about the topic though so I think I’ll try to check something else.
Dave Snowden:
The new 3 C’s: Complexity based approaches to project management
Something about Project Management. Here he is presenting something called Cynefin:
I forsee this presentation being a bit too academic for my tastes.
Brant Cooper:
It’s the End of the (Startup) World as We Know it
Attending!
I haven’t heard of the guy but he seems to know his stuff:
11:00
Olaf Lewitz:
Agile Community Building – Using StrategicPlay with Lego
Attending!
This is a 90minute session.
Here’s an interview with Olaf:
I have no idea what it’s about but if it has Legos it must be good!
11:15
Phil Calçado:
Better Functional Design Through Test-Driven Development
So TDD with functional languages. Might prove interesting.
Joseph Pelrine:
“Cynefin – Making Sense of Agile”
This sounds like Dave Snowdens stuff, but I know for a fact that Joseph Pelrine has very engaging sessions.
It’s probably worth to attend no matter the topic is. Here he presenting about coaching self organising teams: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/coaching-self-org-teams
Stuart Eccles
Hey, this guy doesn’t have a topic yet.
13:45
Daniel Knott:
Mobile App Testing – Challenges, Solutions and Best Practices
Attending!
Probably about how to do functional testing on Android and iPhone. I’m not burning for the topic but might be useful.
Kati Vilkki:
Creating continuous improvement culture
I guess this is going to be about retrospectives. Kati is an agilista from NSN.
Otto Hilska:
Flowdock’s journey to product-market fit
Flowdock is a nice product. I’m gonna guess this is going to be some 37 signalish approach. (They are using their own product etc)
Riitta Saarikangas:
Vuorovaikutuskoulutus: sosiaaliset vuorovaikutustyylit
This is a 90min session, I guess about social interaction.
15:00
Chris Matts:
Feature Injection
I’m not quite sure what feature injection is, but I found this comic:
http://www.agilejournal.com/articles/columns/articles/1643-feature-injection-
Some day I’m going to read it.
Laura Snellman-Junna:
Mechanics of Empathy
So I guess some psychological thing explained so it can be understood by us nerds.
Tuomas Rinta:
Lean Organizational Growth
Attending!
I guess about how to scale a startup’s organization once it gets to a certain size.
16:15
Daniel Temme:
Quit Your Job
If you don’t enjoy your job you’re wasting your life.
Marko Taipale:
Showing the unseen
Some agile technique involving pictures.
Marc McNeill:

Attending!
Don’t know the guy but the topic is interesting.
Here’s someone else on Agile User Experience:

Ok
