Speakers for the LAS Conference

The focus of this year’s Lean Agile Conference is on bridging the gap from the first agile projects to achieving a truly ‘Lean’ Enterprise.

To that end, the LAS organizing committee selected a group of speakers from Switzerland and abroad who can illuminate this chanllenge from as many different perspectives as possible.

You can choose from experience reports from the management perspective from mobile.de, Baloise Insurance and Nokia Siemens Networks, and from the staff perspective at SIX Card Solutions.

Three tutorials guide you in Scrum, Scaling Scrum, and Agile Project Governance. A tutorial and a presentation address the technical challenges: Acceptance Test Driven Development (so the customer gets what he wants) and Architecture in an agile context.

An interactive workshop with the keynote speakers (space limited) and an expert to expert coaching sessions ‘the doctor is IN’ give you a chance to bring home the answers you need to the challenges you are facing!
