Specialises In (based on submitted proposals)
Following the true spirit of the geek, Ilan has started programming at the age of 12, and professionally at the age of 17. His journey took him to many roles, technical, product and architectural. Ilan was an avid advocate of Waterfall, until, one day Scrum hit him in the face. It was then that Ilan decided that his true passion is helping software experts become better and happier in what they do, hence he is a full-time practicing Agile Coach. Ilan did not give up his geekiness, and keeps playing with his Arduino board for an occassional programming fun.

Let's experiment is obviously a better strategy than "It's too complex"
45 Mins
Talk
Beginner
Software projects are notoriously complex making them hard to successfully manage. Or are they?
In this talk I will demonstrate, through the Cynefin framework of Complex Adaptive Systems, what makes projects complex, what common strategies lead them to failure, and how to increase early and frequent decision making that promotes either an early termination of a failing project, or a successful ending.

Is that your Waterfall? Or are you Happy to See Me?
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
We come with the best intentions, go to workshops and conferences, get the best coaches, and then when we look at our process what we find is a classic Waterfall!
What happens between the time we decide to go Agile until we discover that we find ourselves in the same old patterns, just calling it Agile?
In the first part of the talk I will present some of the familiar patterns that "help" us re-implement the same process in other names.
In the second part I will share some tips to make a change that sustains agility.
During the talk I will share success and failure stories of my own and of others.
This talk is intended for managers and manager-wannabes who wish to implement an Agile transition that, unlike Waterfall, holds water.
