Jesper Bylund

Writing a book by two people who never met each other face 2 face when they wrote, published and promoted the book is an amazing experience! Having it translated by self organized agile teams all around the world makes it awesome!!! Come and hear how we did this and what made it work, and learn how you can effectively work with people all around the world. In 2013 Luis Gonçalves and I wrote the book Getting Value out of Agile Retrospectives. We did this by working together fully remote. We self-published it in December 2013 and gained many readers worldwide. We never met each other in person until April 2014, and are still collaborating to promote the book and helping teams worldwide to get more value out of doing agile retrospectives. In 2014 we started with teams of volunteers all around the world to translate our book. Working remotely with people that you don't know, from different cultures, with their own ways of working, and on different continents is certainly challenging, but it turned out to be an effective and fun way to do it! Join this session to learn: - how you can get to know people and work together remote, i.e. without meeting face 2 face; - which tools you can use to collaborate and communicate when working remote together; - how you can translate a book with self organized distributed agile teams of volunteers; - and how value, trust and respect can make it all possible.

Going Agile: benefits & challenges (J Bowes)

BIMA (British Interactive Media Association)

The freelance work/life balance is a bit challenging to get right. Having the freedom to work at home (or anywhere) is a major perk for freelancers. But because you’re the boss, you’re always driven to check your emails even on weekends or work until late at night to crunch numbers and keep the money rolling in. Work can become an overwhelming presence in your personal life and you suddenly feel like you’re always “working”. There are strategies you can employ to avoid business burnout and create work/life balance, which includes setting boundaries between work and personal life, creating processes and delegating work. In this talk, you will learn different ways on how to manage a healthy work/life balance and relieve the stress of self-employment while ensuring a recurring income. Key Take-Away =========== Tips on creating a healthy work life balance. Presented by Haley Brown at WordCamp Sydney 2019

5 Steps to Crafting a Highly Social Talent Brand by LinkedIn - Webinar Slides

The HR Observer

Product leaders guide product strategy, empower teams, and ease go-to-market strategies. They have to be customer-obsessed. And data-informed. Definitely outcomes-oriented. Plus, they need to know who knows what. And be credible and sufficiently likeable. All while ensuring the product doesn’t go off a cliff and the team doesn’t quit for greener pastures. In this talk, Esteban will share candid insights and advice he would give his younger self - if only he could. Like being mission-driven, understanding ideas, and taking the time to lead well. His tips and stories may help you watch out for mistakes and identify areas to double down on. This is Esteban Contreras' talk at INDUSTRY Virtual conference for software product managers on September 22, 2020. http://www.industryconference.com Esteban is a Sr Director of Product at Hootsuite. http://www.hootsuite.com

Some of the biggest causes of a game studio to fail include: a demotivated and/or burned out team, lack of funds, legal trouble, not seeing the problems ahead, a neglected game and/or audience, internal arguments and publishing problems. At the start of January 2014, Critical Force Entertainment based of Kajaani, Finland had every single one of those challenges one way or another. This talk is intended to share the insights, learned lessons and best practices of how we succeeded through failing endlessly, even with a game that had a huge audience which we sadly never managed to properly monetize. Regardless of that, being creative and coming up with solutions to our problems on a step-by-step basis got us to become strong than we ever thought we could be. The main focus of this talk is on sharing our story of performing a complete startup turnaround regardless of the relative success we've had with our games. Topics include: I will be sharing concrete examples of how we tackled the above topics and will provide various forms of data, references, tips, best practices and learned lessons.

Presented at ORBiT Real Time Days 2014 Keynote address by: Alex Gallacher, EngageHR The high-tech, consumer-savvy, not-too-distant future may very well require different skills than we have traditionally hired for or trained for. Let’s talk about what skills we actually need to be building in our existing staff and looking for in those we hire. If we don’t have those skills ourselves, how do we hire for them? What do we need to know, how difficult is it to learn, how big a leap is it? Whether you’re a broker or a carrier, you need to know and we’re here to tell you!
