Rick Miller – Being Chief, LLCAbout the SpeakerRick Miller is a confidant, author, and speaker who will help you to unlock your potential and the power of everyone in your organization. He is an unconventional turnaround specialist, a servant leader, and a go-to Chief. For

Breakout Session I – A
Peter Borsella – President, Big Orange Square
About the SpeakerPeter Borsella, co-founder of Scrum4HW and the Industrial Agile Framework, is a business professional with over 25 years of experience in product development and leadership. Peter is also a Project Management
Professional (PMI), a Certified Scrum Trainer (Scrum Alliance), and a Certified Large-Scale Scrum Practitioner
(The LeSS Company).
An active and contributing member to both the PMI and the Scrum Alliance, Peter has certified over 7,000 CSMs and CSPOs. His speaking engagements focus on bridging the gap between traditional project management and agile product delivery. His goal is to help others understand how to get the best return on any investment by achieving higher levels of product quality, increased customer satisfaction, and more cohesive teams.
Topic: Scrum for Hardware and the Industrial Agile FrameworkPhysical products can be developed with the Scrum Framework. This session explains how that’s possible, and does away with myths surrounding the use of Scrum for hard product development. Scrum outside of software often receives remarks such as "the Sprint cycle time is too short for products,” and, "steps in building hardware are too complex for Scrum.” In this talk I'll work through the classic Scrum process - 3 roles, 3 artifacts, 5 events - and explain with examples to the contrary. Big successes have been scored with applying Scrum in an environment where classical project management structures are still prevalent, and unfortunately still failing. The attendees will walk away with an understanding of Scrum framework principles in a product development environment, and with an approach on fitting large complex product challenges in a short-cycled iterative framework.

Topic: Social Media Alignments Promoting BusinessWhat does it take to align an effective social media campaign to promote a business? This question has many different answers, but when aligned with the strategic corporate plan, there can only be one right answer. Questions that should be asked are numerous, but should be centered around these few initial inquires:
1. Is this a startup or an existing business?2. Is there a full time social media person to work the
campaign?3. What is the budget for a proper social media
campaign?4. What is the length of time that the campaign should
run?There are many more questions that should be addressed but there is more to a proper social media campaign for a business then just posting on various portals. Momentum needs to be maintained as well as quick responses and
timed postings, to ensure that the campaign is as effective as it can be.
