 You cannot hear me okay Well, there is an there is a emergency announcement We have just decided to extend the conference by another two days Free of cost. Yes, we'll be hosting everyone here So for the next two days you are all logged in here, and I hope that we have more more such interactions Okay, I think I have your attention now So thanks, how is how has been the last four days there? Why don't we do a show of fist of five and see how it goes there, right? So at the count of three show how many fingers Don't show the finger that really matters the most, but show show how many fingers And and let's have a fist of five vote, right? So if it was like super duper awesome Open your open your hand and say all the five and then in that order. Let's do that So how about that? Let's do that on the count of three one two three Awesome, I see most of them are fours and five. So let's again give a big round to To the team that's done that and I think I want to thank all of you for staying I know it's been four long days. This is like the weekend is just all over us But I just want to use this opportunity for the next 10 minutes or so to basically Hear back back from you. What do you think happened? How was it? How can we do it better? What are some of the key things that we missed out? What were the biggest screw-ups that we should avoid in the future? So I would like to to on behalf of the team to listen from you and really get some of the feedbacks from all of you The first, okay. Thank you. Can we have a hand microphone, please? Thank you Just to point out it's been an awesome few days But I think for an agile conference, it would be exceptionally valuable for us as attendees Also for the conference organizers to At the end of each session for feedback the opportunity to provide feedback if that would have been available Okay, that's okay mention a few things. Okay. That's a fair point. It's just that we we chose a different format for that So you will actually be getting a mail from nourish for for all the people who came here We'll be getting a mail from nourish like we have done in the last three years you will have a chance to comment on each of the sessions and We typically share that with the speakers as well on how bad the marks they got or how good it was for them But yes point taken At this point the process we are following is at the end of the day We'll collect it all and we use that data to actually Filter through and and see if there might be some speakers who just didn't cut ties with the audience And we tell them regretfully and say hey, okay We'll probably not be able to entertain you next time, but that's just the Darwin network for us Thank you. Any other things anything else that you feel Sure. Yeah for some sessions there was not sufficient time for question and answers. Okay so the Presenter was rushing through because of the time pressure. Okay, and yeah, it's expected that you made him offline and ask questions but sometimes if it goes through a discussion and In the same context that So actually, I mean just just to give set a context the way we said the context with all the speakers was you have 45 minutes Try and complete session in 25 to 30 minutes so that you have 15 minutes of Q&A time What what tends to happen is many of us? I know I'm guilty of that many of us use up all that 45 time and any Q&A happens over and above that 45 minutes Which is not really the desired way we are doing things and then we start eating into the next presenter So so clearly we need to do a better job of communicating to the presenters that they need to stick to the time and Do that But I mean just just as a just as a communication. We do make sure that the presenters are aware of that One thing I would add So there was some constructive feedback there But in terms of good feedback is that it was great to see the conference organizers give the scaled agile framework an opportunity to showcase What it's all about? So and it was also really encouraging to see from a lot of the speakers and the attendees that people does the common messages Understand the problem you're trying to solve so people are just looking at where they currently are and Just trying to resolve those issues. So it was really encouraging to see that from the entities Well, thanks for a kind feedback Yeah, first of all, I think the experience I had over two days of attending this conference was fantastic And the overall arrangement and the quality of some of the speakers was very very good. There were many Wow moments for me having said that there were few sessions that I attended where I felt the Preparation of the presenters could have been much better because they were taking a lot of time Almost using almost all their time to get to the point of their Discussion and in the process were potentially losing out the interest of the participants That's one feedback to some of the speakers and the other thing from the organizing committee view point I think it would be great if you can given the scale of this conference Given the kind of people that get attracted to this conference It would be great if you can do a little bit more scrutiny into choosing The session content and helping these speakers prepare much better Something for us to consider for the next year Yeah, so Yeah, I mean, I will not defend that thing even though just to just to let you know what we did was we actually Invited all the suggestions from the various speakers Wherever they had any Evidence of prior work for example, somebody has already talked at some of the conference We said hey, why don't you why don't you share some of the YouTube videos with us or you let us know how you speak How do you really come across? Are you very natural speaker and stuff like that in rest of the cases? We actually tried to have a video conversation is Skype or some such kind of a thing there And and we believe that we did whatever best we could do at this point in time Clearly some of the things did pass through probably That's that we need to work on but like I said, please give that feedback specifically It's not there's nothing wrong about really telling somebody that hey, you didn't really come out very well there I know some people told me you didn't come across very well And I said well, I've been traveling for last 48 hours. That's the best I could have done actually but I mean arguments apart or an excuse apart We all need to be a to be in a position to take it with humility and move on with that Right, so we'll give you a chance so that you can let us know which speakers really didn't cut any eyes with the audience So let us know about that Yeah, Nikhil, I would also like to I would request Ravi and Ellen and if other chairs are here to come and join me Help me help me please Thank you After this question sure Okay, so I just wanted to say that there were few cancellations during the day Right, so few speakers maybe couldn't travel because of last-minute constraints. Okay, so it would help if All of the other speakers who are presenting on the same day if they get notified of You know having this maybe an extra session Because I mean I certainly had few content that I could have presented on this one Only if I had known that there was another spot available for sale, okay So maybe can we do something similar for next year that at least the people who are presenting on that day They get an instant notification on maybe an SMS or something like that If there are things like, you know cancelled sessions or extra All right, I like the idea I think it's a great idea for us to to keep some of the slots in reserve and let you guys know it could probably be some Kind of a alert service that goes. Hey, one of the slot is up for take anybody who's ready We would like to just just talk to us nourish. Maybe we can talk about that Where do you come here? Okay, so, okay Okay Thank you First of all, I would like to thank for arranging this event. It was really a nice experience I had I just want to know one thing how we conclude on the topics of for the each day So are we collecting the inputs from the previous? attendees From the audience So basically we start the whole selection process So all the talks that you see here majority of the talks except the invited talks are through an open submission system so people go in propose a topic and Then there is a voting system which people go and vote for the talks and then the talks that show up With highest votes not necessarily every talk that shows up with highest votes get selected But that's an indicator for us that people are interested in those topics and then we evaluate the speaker So there is a there's a big theme of people reviewers which evaluate the speaker in terms of their past speaking experience The content the quality of the content and that process goes on for about three four months It a long time a long time basically Lots of sleepless nights Lots of long calls lots of discussions and then the talks get selected based on that If we take feedback from this year our way of taking feedback is whenever sessions are going in all of us are popping Into sessions constantly so a we get our own impulse on how the session is Second we look at we talk to people in the hallways How's the session going for you with sessions stood out for you which sessions did not work very well for you? And we collect that you know first-hand information from people if we see a pattern then we know okay these set of speakers Are really doing good and these set of speakers. Maybe they need more help, right? So that's kind of the thought process that goes through behind the selection No matter what we do, I'll tell you no matter what we do because we've been doing this for ten years No matter what we do any conference. There will be three categories of speakers One which will rock facing all of that I think TV and even Ravi Doc is not here. I believe but doc also had to let go some of the people and it's actually really hard to Send that message to especially volunteers right because it's not like you're paid to to do this job Right. It's like I'm a volunteer and I will contribute whatever I can contribute You cannot demand certain things from us But we had to take those hard calls and I appreciate these guys for standing by those decisions Pramod is not here Pramod had to leave I cannot tell you how many nights Pramod and I have been you know working Trying to do the final touches and all of that stuff and he's been a fantastic support in actually helping Get all of these things together. I have very short temper as people who know me I lose my patience very quickly. So there was a point when I told Pramod you basically deal with people I cannot deal with people And and Pramod would basically you know, so he's like the perfect partner for me in terms of you know Helping working with the team and making sure things moved. He shows a lot more patience than I have So I appreciate Pramod as well. He's not here, but if you guys see him next time, please do thank him Come friends and safe travels to all the people who are going back home Have a nice weekend and let us know with your feedback Tweet us if we have been good Yeah, we have the art event that happened We still don't have Nag and team who did this they've gone to Mysore and they were supposed to be here by 4 But they're not yet here So we're gonna be dismantling this I don't know what exact plan they had but I'm just gonna improvise and say I was just gonna say all I know was the plan was to dismantle the piece and to break the artwork into smaller components So that if people wanted to take a piece of it home, they could take it home as a memento of the conference So I think that's still what we should do that the sort of the question is how small the piece Uh, well, I think Richard's idea actually was to cut it into much smaller pieces, but Exactly exactly and you can Excellent and you can always take pictures of the whole thing
