Join this Open Space session to discuss and learn about Agile development and delivery. Open Space is an approach where the session's participants create the agenda at the beginning of the session. Topics are proposed by attendees and then they self-organize into groups and discuss. We will also embed Salesforce Agile coaches with deep Agile and Lean experience into the groups to help facilitate discussion.
