Helping small products grow big.
This is going to be one amazing week! Just take a look at the program. I would also like to point out that the hotel is brilliant so stay here if you are ever in Salt Lake.
My Atlassian colleague Edwin Wong will be speaking on Wednesday at 2:20pm in the Arizona Room. Be sure to catch his lightning talk – Making the most of manual testing in a quality focused Agile team.
If you are in town and want to grab dinner with a few Aussies and Atlassians let me know.
In early September I will be up in Beijing presenting Be the change you seek at Agile China 2011. This is exciting for me for two reasons, 1) it is my first trip to China and 2) it is great to see people are interested in the talk I gave at Agile Australia back in June.
The theme of the conference is Fearless Change. It is great to see Jeff Smith from Suncorp on the program as I reckon that is one of the largest agile transformations in Australia. In a few years we may be talking and exploring the current agile transformation at Telstra.
What are the other big agile transformations taking place in Australia? Who else demonstrates fearless change?
Hope to see you at Agile China in September. If you can suggest any art galleries please let me know.
On Thursday July 28 I will participate in a panel on Turning Ideas into Business Cases at brainmates, a product management consultancy in Sydney. From the brainmates blog:
In our lunchtime Product Talk, we will be looking at how to generate great product ideas, validate whether there is a feasible business opportunity and turn it into a business case that is more likely to get approved in your organisation. We will also discuss how you can sound convincing when you present your business case.
brainmates’ co-director & lead trainer, Nick Coster will be leading this discussion. The panelists for this Product Talk are:
- Jen Armstrong, Director of Marketing CMO Pacific at LexisNexis
- Kees Kwakernaak, Managing Director, Global Treasury Services – Product Management at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
- Nick Muldoon, Product Manager at Atlassian
If you would like to attend there are still a few tickets available. Please register.
