~ Agile Adoption in The Lion's Den ~ As agile practitioners, we are passionate about how we do work, and we love to share our exceptional knowledge and understanding with others and transform workplaces to be "more agile". But often our attempts to do our best work are thwarted by other people (and occasionally ourselves). How do things go wrong? How can we fix our coworkers, clients, managers, and executives? And how can we maintain our joy and enthusiasm for our work in the face of adversity, conflict, and bad luck? In his talk, Aaron VonderHaar will share his personal answers to these questions drawing on his experiences working with startup and enterprise clients attempting to adopt agile, managing and mentoring other engineers, and seeing his company go through an acquisition and significant growth in recent years. ~ Bio ~ Aaron VonderHaar is a developer and engineering manager at Pivotal Labs, where he pairs with startup and enterprise clients on full-stack mobile and web projects. He is also a technical mentor at Hackbright Academy and gSchool and is an advocate for racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, disability, and gender diversity. The meeting will begin at 6pm at Mitchell International on Greenwich Drive.
