Many organizations talk in buzzwords like: MVP, MMF, innovation, empowerment and entrepreneurship, but are your teams actually moving in this direction. Do your legacy replacement projects get stuck in building exactly what the users currently have instead of building software that solves real-world problems. Are you just writing software that moves problems from an old system to a new language? Do you understand exactly what features are important and why they add value? In this session, learn how to experiment on your customers without being bound to traditional methodologies and create a culture of learning that actually solves problems and delivers valuable solutions. Get in your customer’s head Get out of the “We have always done it this way” legacy software replacement trap What motivates your customer What features do your users value Are you spending to much time building the wrong thing What will your customers pay for What keeps your customers returning Are you creating an emotional connection

Nick is an experienced Agile Coach and Scrum Master his innovative approach in to creating high-performing self-organized teams that build custom software that people really use, has made him a sought after trainer and coach. Nick prides himself on making Agile ‘Fun and Simple’ and understand that building teams is more than just putting skills and resources into an Agile process and doing sprint planning. It is about finding the balance of personality, desire, innovation, motivation, and knowledge to structure groups of individuals who can work towards a common goal. His philosophy is that team members should enjoy coming to work and find creative ways to connect with end-users and the value stream of an organization. Nick has developed several new and exciting Agile concepts; including Fanning (an approach to connecting multiple independent timeliness to achieve synchronized deliverables) and MaCC (Measure & Analyze Complexity and Confidence: a Theme\Feature pointing system for tracking velocity and value of Enterprise backlogs).
