POV: You Can Code, But Agile Sounds Like Magic

Session Category Project Management & Consulting Audience Beginner

Agile can feel like a set of mysterious spells everyone else already knows. In this fun, beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down Agile from a developer’s point of view: what the terminology really means, what actually happens during sprints, and how to talk about Agile confidently in interviews and on the job. 

Whether you’re new to development or just new to Agile, you’ll be casting spells in no time (wand optional).
