Title: Dojo labs: The art of crafting high performing teams

Abstract: Dojo labs is an agile process framework for product development. Dojo labs as a process is rooted in the philosophy "Less is More" and embraces the concept of micro sprints and smaller teams. In this talk, we will discuss how Dojo labs as a product development framework and coaching strategy will enable even average teams to become hyper-productive and predictive. We will also be discussing specific industry-based case studies where dojo labs were applied at scale to coach and transform workforces to embrace modern engineering practices.

What is covered in this talk :

Targets Agile Dojo model
Dojo labs as a product development framework
Discussion of how Dojo labs could be adopted as a way of working in Academia

Thanks to all the Participants for attending the workshop.
