We are proud to announce that Mr. Ho Nguyen Quoc Hung, Director or the Da Nang branch of Rikkeisoft, will give a talk about scaling organizations at our live networking event on 27 February. Here is what he learnt about scaling organizations:

"In fact, when scaling up my company, I encountered many difficulties in building processes, on how to operate a team with many members. However, those things can be learned and learned quickly.

On the contrary, what I have found is that in the software industry, people management and team cultural linkages take the company the most time. Especially when the organization is larger, more and more small groups, with different views, habits, ages, and regions.

For small groups to work effectively, collaborate and live with other groups, to create a strong team, it is essential to understand the culture of an organization.

Those people have formed views of life, thinking, including emotions as a miniature society. Living in that environment helps them feel confident and happy. Their motivation to work is the subculture of the group they belong to. Not the culture of the organization.

All processes and resources are in place, why can't everyone work together? Are you confident in knowing what your co-workers are thinking? Being able to understand this clearly helps us to better govern people and make the team stronger."

Scaling has always been a big challenge to most of the projects in the current fast-paced digital environment. Managing cross-team dependencies, preserving team self-management, ensuring accountability ... are some notable factors we will face when doing Scrum at scale. If not addressed on time, these issues can drive a project towards failure. Let’s find out what we can do about them in our discussion today.

Mr. Cuong (Michael) Nguyen, Senior Project Manager at NFQ Asia, will give a short but intense talk about "Scaling with Scrum" at our live networking event on 27 February in Da Nang. He is an established project manager who has been working in the software industry for 10+ years. Experienced in working with both start-ups and enterprises from a small team of 3 people to big projects with 80 members. Currently working with a band of 15 rockstars to build an amazing product for the United States market.

The Challenges of Scaling Projects, Organizations, Businesses - the topic of our first live event!

Your project is growing and can not be implemented by a single team anymore, so now you have to figure out how to manage dependencies between the teams and how to create a shared commitment.

Your company opens the second office in a new location, so now you have to deal with the challenges of remote collaboration and create a feeling of unity in a distributed organization. Even more, if you expand your business operations to a different country, different time zone, if your new staff has a different work culture, you will have to adapt your established processes and traditions.

You grow by diversifying your business, hoping you can create synergies between your different lines of business - but are you ready for the challenges of exploring new markets and can you adapt quickly enough about your new commercial field?

We think this is a great topic that gives managers of all trades and types ample opportunity to share their experience. What do you think?

Made by and for software managers

No matter what your level or type of manager you are, you are welcome to join the SMC! We will provide valuable content for business owners, C-level executives, key-account managers, as well as senior and middle managers working on products, projects or on software-related marketing and sales activities. Method specialists, like agile coaches or IT-consultants will find good opportunities to meet their future business partners here.

Follow us and stay tuned for our next live event!
