Discover how Agilist Andre’s journey into agile team management highlights the power of agile community networking and the role of Agile Connect in fostering collaboration and continuous improvement among IT professionals.

The Journey Begins: Andre’s First Agile Talk

On August 23rd, 2017, Andre took the stage at Mindvalley’s Hall of Awesomeness, organized by the inspiring Women Who Code (WWC) in Kuala Lumpur. Despite a few nerves and a couple of stumbles, Andre’s talk on agile teams was a success. This experience not only boosted his confidence but also underscored the importance of networking within the agile community.

“My first agile talk was about agile teams and it was well received, in spite of a few stumbles here and there from lack of practice in giving talks in general.”
