Agile Philippines Meetup 2019.04
Manulife Philippines hosted the Agile Philippines community again this April at their new office in Makati City!
Renan David, Product Owner for Buy a Policy, formally welcomed us to Manulife and to tonight’s meetup!
Lots of conversations even before the meetup officially started!
We used Open Space to facilitate the meetup. We had 5 topics each round (MA-NU-LI-FE-PH), and 3 rounds in total. Each round was 20 minutes long, with 5 minute gaps in between to figure out where to go next:

7:50 PM–8:10 PM:
- MA: —
- NU: Inside look at Manulife Agile Journey
- LI: What types of reports or metrics best support Agile?
- FE: Agile product or process?

8:15 PM–8:35 PM:

We started wrapping up at 9:00 in the evening with our big closing circle:

As always, we think we could have gone longer, but that will have to wait until the next meetup!
