David Hawks led two sessions at the 2018 North American Scrum Gathering. During the conference we had the chance to sit down and talk through some of the key ideas he was presenting in Minneapolis.\n\nDavid\u2019s first session, \u201cThe Post Project Era: The Future of Agile,\u201d looked at how a project-centric mindset can actually impede your ability to deliver value for your client. \xa0In his second session, \u201cMove Beyond User Stories: What\u2019s Next,\u201d David presented an approach to understanding requirements that goes beyond simply working with User Stories and involves forming hypotheses, designing and prioritizing experiments to test them, and then running the experiments to gain a deeper understanding of what the customer\u2019s needs actually are and how to best solve them.\n\nDavid is the founder and CEO of Agile Velocity, as well as a Certified Enterprise Coach and a Certified Scrum Trainer.
