■ INFO ABOUT THE SPEAKERS ■
The first speaker, Sebastian Hoelscher, will hold a talk called “From Ballistic to Butterfly: an Agile Metamorphosis”.
Abstract of the talk
He will tell the story of how he went from an almost 20 years career within the METRO world to its software developing company, METRONOM. He was initially trained as a Project Manager in a quite purist waterfall setting, where changes were considered lethal poison. Afterwards, in METRONOME, he started getting exposed to a highly agile environment, the switch between those two realities being quite the experience. The core of the discussion will be how his experience was like, going through this venturesome journey.
