The July meetup agenda will start off with lunch sponsored by Genuent. Once everyone has had a chance to get settled, we will kick off the meetup with brief individual introductions (10 secs each).

We will then have a talk on Business Agility from James Sweet via Zoom. James is currently the Regional Agile Delivery Lead for the Western Region for the Eliassen Group. James is also a Lean/Agile Transformation Architect advising clients in best practices and helping them select and implement successful transformation strategies.
James has 10 years of experience as an Enterprise Level Agile Coach and Change Agent working with clients of all sizes from small startups to fortune 10.
Prior to that James was an Agile practitioner performing in the following roles: Chief Product Owner, Product Manager, Product Owner, Scrum Master/Team Coach, Release/Solution Train Engineer

The second half of the event we will use the Lean Coffee (http://leancoffee.org/) format. Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants will gather, build an agenda (backlog of topics), and begin the discussion. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting is democratically generated.

We will close the meetup with a “Rapid Retrospective” (5 minutes) covering what was beneficial to the group and what could be enhanced in future ATAG meetups.

The total event time is scheduled for ~1.5 hrs.

Please arrive a few minutes early because attendees will need to sign in at the front desk. Parking is available in front of the building and behind the building. Please park on the M3 side since the other side of the lot is owned by SAGE.

We look forward to seeing you there!
