Agile Philippines Meetup 2019.07
Freelancer hosted the Agile Philippines meetup for July! This is the fourth straight year Freelancer has hosted the community, and we are very thankful for their support!
Briana Arevalo, Talent and Acquisition, formally welcomed us to Freelancer and to tonight’s meetup!
We had a bit of time to catch up with people before we started:
And good to see our good friend HackZilla again!
We used Open Space to facilitate the meetup. We had 3 topics each round, and 3 rounds in total. Each round was 20 minutes long, with 5 minute gaps in between to figure out where to go next:
Topics and schedule were:
7:50 PM–8:10 PM:
- FRE: Role mapping for teams undergoing Agile transformation
- ELA: How to run effective remote retrospectives
- NCE: Performance testing
- RPH: —
8:15 PM–8:35 PM:
- FRE: MVP estimation # of sprints
- ELA: Cross-functionality
- NCE: Ways to do retrospectives
- RPH: —
8:40 PM–9:00 PM:
- FRE: Scrum Master Support: Product Owner Value Game
- ELA: Tools — Project Management, Dev, QA
- NCE: DOD — Definition of Done
- RPH: —
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!
Thank you again to Freelancer for warmly hosting us for July! Special thanks to Johnny Estilles, Briana Arevalo, and the rest of the Freelancer team for making this meetup a success!
Agile Philippines meetups happen 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 later in August at Globe in Bonifacio Global City!
