As the world becomes ever more changeable, rather like the Cornish weather, we look to embrace agile into everything we do to keep up with the pace of change. Belinda will talk about agile and its application beyond code to help teams be more effective, develop innovative products, evolve our practices and design new business models. She will share her ultimate goal to create a local digital agile community leading to a new 21st century engineering revolution. She will share insights, facts, examples and opinions from her mission so far. Join Belinda to find out how to embrace agile beyond code and how you can join the local 'digital agile community' movement.
