Stanisław Matczak

I am an agile coach with over 20 years of experience in software development. I began my career as a developer for insurance and banking systems, working on waterfall projects managed by committees and complex Gantt charts. Then I worked as a Team Lead, managing software development teams.

In 2013, I switched to the agile approach, and since then I have worked with my teams to discover Scrum as well as other frameworks and practices. I have held Product Owner accountability for my teams and later I transitioned into the Scrum Master role.

Over the years, I have introduced or improved Scrum in a variety of industries, including financial institutions, airlines, eCommerce companies, software houses, and MDM providers. As a mentor and coach, I have helped other Scrum Masters develop their skills and expertise. I am a university lecturer teaching application of agile methods and practices.

Outside of work, I am a co-organizer of the non-profit Agile3M community, which brings together agile enthusiasts and practitioners in the Trójmiasto area. I am also a husband and father of three children, and I enjoy participating in orienteering events.

Workshop—Why Work Visualization Doesn't Work and How to Fix It

Many organizations use work visualization tools but don't always see the expected benefits. In this workshop, we'll identify common problems and their causes, and then collaboratively seek practical solutions.

Is your organization struggling with frustration related to work visualization tools like Jira, Asana, or Azure DevOps? Instead of streamlining, are they creating more chaos and complaints? This interactive workshop is the answer to these challenges.

Together, we will delve into the heart of the problem, identifying key obstacles that prevent the effective use of work management tools. We will explore why companies decide to visualize their work, what the expectations of different roles within the organization are, and why these expectations are often not met.

During the workshop:
1. We will identify main expectations related with work-management tools
2. We will focus on seven key problems that sabotage the potential of the tools
3. We will identify which of these problems are present in your organization.
4. We will collaboratively seek practical and concrete solutions.
5. We will analyze a case study of an organization that successfully implemented these tools, achieving real benefits.

This workshop will provide you with practical knowledge and inspiration on how to transform frustration into effective work visualization, truly improving processes within your organization.
