Lightning Talks at SEEK About Agile Australia and the Last Conference

It has been a busy few months in Melbourne for the Lean / Agile community, with both Agile Australia and Last Conference happening only a week apart.

A lot of the Geeks at Seek had been to the conferences.

If you read my last post you will know I am passionate about learning and growing knowledge.

To encourage others at SEEK to share and get better at learing, It felt like a good opportunity to try out a Lightning talks session on all the things we had heard at the recent conferences.
