Please join us for the following tech talk:
*Tech Talk**:* Kanban: An alternative to Scrum? *Presenter:* Kevin Smith *Date:* June 15th *Time:* 22:00 UTC http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Tech+Talk%3A+Kanban&iso=20150615T22&p1=%3A&ah=1 Link to live YouTube stream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT8cUtMTGPI *IRC channel for questions/discussion:* #wikimedia-office Google+ page https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/103470172168784626509/events/cg2sb5m878c8ot3nhf2uk4mii34, another place for questions
*Summary: *Kanban is becoming a popular buzzword in software development. Some teams are looking at starting with a Kanban process as a stepping stone toward Scrum, while others are considering switching from Scrum to Kanban. Meanwhile, the author of "The Kanban Method" claims that "Kanban is NOT a software development lifecycle or project management methodology!" This talk will attempt to clarify what Kanban is (and is not), how it compares to Scrum, and why a team might choose to use it.
*About the speaker: *Kevin has been practicing agile software development for over 15 years. He joined the WMF as an Agile Coach in March 2015.
