The Agenda and the Speakers

1. Alexey Krivitsky from Agile Ukraine
   
   
• Certified ScrumMaster training: what it is and what it is not
  30 minutes
  
  Being one of the people who organize CSM trainings in Ukraine and Russia I feel being responsible for driving the correct understanding of the training goals and meaning of the certificate for the community. During the presentation I will shortly review what CSM is and, moreover, will try to uncover what the CSM is NOT.
  
  
2. Askhat Urazbaev from Agile Russia & Luxoft
   
   
   • Roll-out and adoption of agile processes in projects: practical guide
     1 hour
     
     Abstract:
     Nowadays there are less and less people who doubt in application and need of Agile methods in software development. The most important question now is - HOW to adopt Agile practices, keeping the steady growth of team's performance.
     
     Askhat will shed light on that and as well as on some other topics:
     - Who is a "change agent"
     - How to "sell" Agile to customers
     - Practical guidance on Agile adoption
     - Keeping the team motivated
     
     
3. Adam Byrtek, Co-founder and technical lead in Code Sprinters, Poland.
   
   
   • Scrum roll-out: a story of one company
     1 hour
     
     How Scrum worked out and how we transformed it into our business with "agile spirit". Reusable techniques and approaches.
     
     
4. Gleb Arshinov, CEO at Pluron, Inc.
   
   
   • Agile for Business
     1 hour
     
     The Agile principles have a lot in common with the way you bring a new product/company to market, and I want to discuss the similarities. I'll also talk about Steve Blank's Customer Development process which does a good job of formalizing this. Where relevant I'll refer to my own experience both as an engineer and as an entrepreneur.
     
     
5. Open space session: sharing Agile experience (positive and negative).
   
   Language: Russian and English
   
   In the part of gathering we will split into small groups of about 10-15 to listen and discuss one team's experience. Below is the list of people agreed to present their tries of Agile adoption. Everyone is encouraged to participate.
