Growing productivity, quality and mainly the team happiness by helping them with the power of scrum patterns. Based on real experiment, we will use role playing to demonstrate how you can help explaining to teams the 9 scrum patterns for hyper productivity.

Sara Santos is currently an Agile Coach at Farfetch. Sara always believed that everything happens for a reason and her career path is the proof of it. She started as a Social Worker and developed her skills (amoung other things) on how to understand the human mind and their interactions. During those years she realized that she wasn’t happy with her carreer and an old passion was calling her…technology. She decided to leave that past behind and took a degree as a Informatics Engineer at ISEP. From that time on, she’s amazed with all the never ending knowledge and experiences that she have the opportunity to live. On the last few years she developed an interest on Agile Mindset and its practices. After taking hers CMS certification she bet on a carreer as an Agile Coach where she believe her past has an important role on hers daily work, because after all we need to undestand how people and teams interact to get them more productive, motivated and happy.
