Yesterday, we held a meetup lecture on the topic “Agile is Dead?”. The lecture was delivered by Marijan Trnski, Scrum Master/Trainer @ Adcubum. 💻🔧 During the session, we discussed one of the most provocative topics in the world of software development – is Agile truly dead, or are we just forcing it into places where it doesn’t belong? 🚀⚙️ In an engaging atmosphere with an interactive discussion, we explored why Agile causes frustration in some teams 🤯, where it is misapplied 🔄, and why, despite criticism, it can still be a valuable tool – perhaps in a different form. 🛠️🔄 A big thank you to everyone who participated and shared their experiences! 🙌 👥 Organizer: Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences 🤝 Co-organizer: Bjelovar Technology Park 🎉 After-party at OKA Bar enabled by: Enseso
