It is an opportunity to share and compare different experiences, approaches, cultures and strategies to implement agile.

Based on a sort of tv quiz show, participants will answer questions proposed by our followers and participants of the Agile Community.

The live and interactive video conference will be organized on Zoom for the first 100 subscribers.

After it will be possible to watch the live streaming on our YouTube channel.

WHO
