Senior Digital Product Owner at Hoffmann Engineering Services GmbH

“Thanks Ranjith Venkatesh #Kudos for two great days of agile training. 👏 I am always impressed how you explain things using specific examples, but still lay the necessary theoretical foundation along the way. At the same time, you simply sprinkle in helpful inspiration to deepen the discussed topics afterwards. 🤓“

Digital Strategy Consultant, Interim CxO, Agile Transition Leader

“In my current project I had a pleasure to work with Ranjith. With his professionality, positive perspective, his confidence as well as his in-depth technology knowledge Ranjith is a big win for each team. I can highly recommend Ranjith as Scrum Master and Agile Developer.”

Thorsten F

Team Lead at NI

“We are a team of 5 software developers including myself. Ranjith Venkatesh has been part of this team for quite half a year now to help us to handle the huge amount of work. To do so Ranjith had to get familiar with our self-developed framework that we use to create our application. Beside that he had to dive into the massive complexity of our solutions. He archieved both with great success and he supported the team very good. Besides his firm technological background knowlege he was also a polite collegue and he granted always a helping hand if needed.”

CodeCraft Leadership: Hacking the DNA of Agile Teams

I had the opportunity to talk at the DevDays conference on the topic of CodeCraft Leadership: Hacking the DNA of Agile Teams.

I split the interactive workshop into 3 parts

Company DNA
Team DNA
Your DNA

Agile Speakers meets for lunch

Stefan started off sharing ideas from his newsletter.

I liked his premise of using medical terms to explain and diagnose things in the testing world. The discussion around Incident (or Issue) to Defect and journey which takes us there. Is finding and fixing a bug enough? Should we be looking into why the bug happened in the first place? Is there a connection between the nature of the defects and and the nature of the product or service itself?

Digitalisation, Sustainability and CSR

The IHK Munich has a nice set of mini-conferences that they are doing as part of their digitalisation initiative “Pack ma’s digital”.

The last one I attended was on Digitalisation and Sustainability.

The format was fun with a few initial speakers who spoke for 20 minutes each. There was a break followed by speakers who were pitching their products and services with 10 minutes each.
