Agile After Hours: Pie, Stories and Simplicity

Join us for a delightfully themed evening as the Bluegrass, Southeast Michigan and Chicagoland IIBA Chapters come together to celebrate what makes both life and agile work a little sweeter — simplicity, community, and the joy of the things we love. We will celebrate Homemade Pie Day, National Love Your Bookstore Day and Simplify Your Life Week. In the spirit of Homemade Pie Day, we're honoring the art of making something from scratch. Just like a perfectly crafted pie, great business analysis requires the right ingredients, patience, and a willingness to iterate until you get it just right. We'll also be building our very own Community Cookbook! Bring your favorite pie recipe to share, use the link below to submit your pie recipe ahead of the event to be included in our community cookbook. Come ready to share your best slice of wisdom, whether it's flaky, creamy, or somewhere in between. Inspired by National Love Your Bookstore Day, we'll celebrate the knowledge-sharing culture at the heart of our BA community. Independent bookstores thrive by knowing their customers deeply, curating with purpose, and building loyal communities — sound familiar? We'll discuss how business analysts can channel that same energy to champion their stakeholders and deliver real value. And in honor of Simplify Your Life Week, We'll put our agile skills to work with a hands-on technique designed to help us cut through the noise and focus on what delivers the most impact. Light on ceremony. Heavy on connection. Always better together. Free and open to all. This promises to be a fun and interactive event, one You Won't Want to Miss!
