"#ATAVadodaraMeetup exemplifies the essence of being #Agile. If someone were to propose launching our #Meet-up with a timeline of 4-5 days, the typical response would be that we need time, participants, and sponsors to put up the first show, making it practically impossible. However, when you're Agile in your approach, the impossible becomes possible. A team of 4 members - Vipul Kayasth, Hitesh Prajapati, Vishal Parmar, Aditya Garg - responded with a resounding YES, let's do it, and we can make it happen. Responsibilities were divided - Event planning, #venue, #negotiation, #socialmedia, participant engagement, #sponsorship coordination - and it happened. What's remarkable is that we met only twice for 10 minutes on call and exchanged 10-15 WhatsApp messages, yet the result was phenomenal - 55+ engaging participants, relevant and learning topics from Prashant Shah, Nimesh Bhatt and making it look easy sponsorship from Horizontal Digital leader Hardeep Singh who appreciated the enthusiasm and passion of #Vadodara #community members, stepping forward to support us within the timeframe. This was great example of non-conventional #leadership support. Thanks to Piyush Bohra, Harshada Surwase and Agile Testing Alliance for support.
Reflecting on what made our approach so #efficient and #seamless, we discussed a few key points post-event:
1. #Clarity on #why and #what
2. #Trusting the team over How
3. #Psychological #safety - fostering an environment where #failure is acceptable
4. #Enthusiasm and #passion as driving forces for any #initiative
5. It's worth trying rather than waiting for #perfection
6. Embracing Agile approaches and solutions
7. Lastly, a bit of #optimism works wonders.
Certainly, we have identified areas for improvement for our next meet-up. Looking forward to it #ATAVadadoraMeetup 2.
