Agile Crete meets Socrates

A joint open space unconference where software crafters and product folks learn more from each other.

What

AgileCrete has always been an Open Space Unconference where coaches and developers have gathered to exchange and challenge ideas about agile software development (lowercase “a”). It has been running in Crete since 2014, and in this time, we have discussed, argued and contested many many topics that touch on software development, product management, methodologies, psychology, systems thinking, philosophy and many many more.

SoCraTes

SoCraTes, i.e. the “Software Craftsmanship and Testing (un)conference” started in Germany, back in 2011. Since then, many partner unconferences have sprung up, throughout the world, spreading the Software Crafting ideas and practices.

In many ways, AgileCrete has been very similar to a SoCraTes unconference already. After organizing for the first time SoCraTes Crete intertwined with AgileCrete in 2018, we want to improve on our feedback and experiences and do it (even) better in 2019. We think it is going to be spectacular!

Why

Our goal is to help bridge the gap between product folks and devs. In our opinion, this is something that should already be happening in the workplace, BUT… the pressure of “getting it done” and “moving on” seldom allows these people, even when they are colleagues, to take the time to try to fully understand one another. When there is an agenda, or a backlog, or deadlines, this seems like a luxury.

Our focus is to provide a space where this fusion can happen more naturally. Simply by bringing both sides together, and allowing them to run their own open space sessions of interest. In parallel.
