Agile Philippines Meetup 2018.09
This September’s meetup was hosted at Nokia Technology Center Philippines! They have hosted the community for 3 straight years, and have been our only Quezon City host so far!
Teng Cabrera, Manila Technology Center Head, formally welcomed us to Nokia and to tonight’s meetup.
We had some time to connect and catch up while waiting for people to arrive.
We used Open Space to eventually facilitate the meetup. We had 3 topics each round, with a total of 3 rounds of 20 minutes each. Topic areas were N-K-A. We had 5 minute gaps between rounds to figure out which topics to join next.
Topics and schedule were:
Round 1: 7:50 PM–8:10 PM
- N: MVP
- O: —
- K: Demotivated Members
- I: —
- A: Application to non-software delivery
Round 2: 8:15 PM–8:35 PM
- N: Effort estimate (hours) vs story points
- O: —
- K: Waterfall BA to Scrum
- I: —
- A: SAFe vs LeSS vs Nexus
Round 3: 8:40 PM–9:00 PM
- N: Agile x Waterfall
- O: —
- K: Agile Metrics
- I: —
- A: Unclear Acceptance Criteria
We started wrapping up at around 9:00 in the evening with a quick raffle and our big closing circle.
As always, we think we could have gone longer, but that will have to wait until the next meetup!
Thank you again to Nokia for warmly welcoming us to their office. Special thanks to Teng Cabrera, Tivo Mallillin, Mark Jefferson “MJ” Ponce De Leon, Gino Paolo “GinPao” Villanueva, Roel Bakiki, and the rest of Nokia who made the meetup as success!
Agile Philippines meetups happen (generally) every last Wednesday of a month. This is a community event, and is only made possible by the people who go to the meetups, and the organizations who open their doors to allow us to meet as a community.
Please do reach out to our Facebook group if your organization is interested in hosting a future meetup.
See you in October with Emerson at Ortigas Center in Pasig City! We are having our meetup on the 17th due to the holidays.
