- How to know if Agile is right for an organisation
- Whether roles and responsibilities greatly differ on Agile teams
- Advice for people new to Agile teams
- Working with geographically distributed teams
- Whether they believe in following Scrum as prescribed
- Their thoughts on some of the recent trends in Agile development
Our panel was hosted by Maeve Loughnane – Portfolio Director at Version 1, and featured the following guest speakers:
- Nicola Roche – The Project Manager of AFIT (Agriculture Inspections), Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
- Mary Hennessy – Senior Project Manager (Scrum Master, Principal), Version 1
- Bridget Connaughton, Design Lead, Digital Factory at ESB
The event was very interactive, as attendees used our live polling technology throughout the discussion to submit their questions, which were addressed during the Q & A segment of the session.

Women at Version 1
We aim to go above and beyond to ensure that the women in our workforce are treated fairly when it comes to pay, recognition, training and promotion opportunities; where they can take the time off they need to attend to childcare or other family commitments; and where they are encouraged, empowered and supported to do their best work.
