Session
If you work in software development and love Lego, then this session is for you!
In the not-so-distant future, mankind has finally planned our first manned mission to colonize Mars. The infrastructure is set, the rocket is ready, and now we just need a plan for what we need to build to help our first colonists be successful in sustaining life on a new planet.
Come be a part of the fun as experience what it's like to apply the Möbius Loop rhythm of working, focusing on outcome delivery instead of a single, rigid framework. We'll leverage methodologies such as agile, human-centered design, and DevOps and meld them into a single rhythm of working that will propel us toward creating the first habitable city on Mars - with Lego!
Come ready to collaborate, move stickies around a wall, build with lego, and help our first brave colonists take the next step in the human endeavor!
