Speaker: Siddarth Jain is a data scientist and founder of Doctor Droid. His focus over the past couple of years has primarily been on solving problems related to production investigations by SRE & On-call engineers. Pair Programming Thursday, July 25th  12pm EDT / 1600 UTC [Meeting Link] Engineering is a team sport -- but how can we collaborate most effectively? Teams have employed a variety of approaches, from asynchronous pairwise code reviews to everyone-all-at-once mob programming. What works for you? Join this discussion and share your experience. Becoming an agent for positive change Tuesday, August 6th 12 pm EDT / 1600 UTC [Meeting Link] At a recent conference, Thomas Leake shared his work team's Agile practices with many other attendees. Each time he shared their practices he got the same question.  "How did you influence your team to do that?"  It struck him - the keys to faster, better software delivery are widely recognized, but so many teams struggle to embrace them effectively. Sometimes it comes down to the influence of one individual. Could that be you?   Yes!  You may be exactly the influence that your team needs!  But, you will have to move out of your comfort zone. Thomas will share pivotal uncomfortable moments in his journey to become a powerful influence to help teams significantly improve their ability to deliver higher-quality, more impactful software more quickly.  He'll demonstrate how each moment taught him an important leadership principle.  He will also share how the book “Lift: The Fundamental State of Leadership” predicts our ability to be an agent for positive change. Metric Monday (1 hour): The discussion starts off with a brief presentation on metrics, then we use the lean coffee format for the remainder of the discussion.
