The Talk:

Managing a collaborative multi-national team in real time. Attend this amazing presentation with Joe Justice and Tim Myer, and see just how cool Agile can be. Find out what happens when a consultant with mad Agile skills starts building a car in his garage in his free time. Not any car, but an X Prize car, that gets 100 miles to the gallon. Learn about the real, tangible ways Joe turned a dream into a game-changing auto manufacturing company, building a 100mpg, hot, sexy, sporty, road legal car.

Speaker Bio:

Joe Justice is a Seattle-area agile business process consultant and entreprenerd, and a registered automotive manufacture since 2006.

In 2010, Joe?s X Prize team, WIKISPEED, used agile process to tie for 10th place in the mainstream class of the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize, a $10 million challenge for 100+ MPGe automobiles.

WIKISPEED now uses agile process to rapidly solve problems for social good. Joe has spoken on social web application development, project methodology, and agile best practices and is a nominated TEDx speaker and currently a business process consultant at SolutionsIQ and CEO of WIKISPEED.

There will be a $10 donation for this event to cover costs to get Joe Justice up from Christchurch to speak to us.
