Description of the practical project workshop
Is it possible to understand the principles of agile project management by building with LEGO bricks? As it is – you can. During our Agile mini-workshop you will learn about the Scrum methodology from the inside and take part in an intensive simulation of project team work. After the practical part, you will have time for Q&A – talks about building a career path in IT, doubts, challenges and everyday life in the technology industry.
The meeting will not only be a learning opportunity, but also an inspiring space for sharing experiences and reflections.
