Summary
TokyoDev Talks Vol. 11 brings together software developers in Japan for two presentations and open networking at Tokyo Innovation Base. Rogerio Taques (Wovn Technologies) shares his team's journey from Scrum to Large Scale Scrum (LeSS), discussing common pitfalls of scaling Agile across multiple teams working on a single product. Chris Salzberg (Shopify) recounts opening his own cafe "Solenoid" in Hakodate as a side project, walking through property renovation, licenses, inventory, taxes, and the emotional ride of bridging software work with a physical-world venture. Attendance is limited to software developers and those in adjacent roles; drinks and a light meal are provided.
