Back to Basics - Forward to the Future: What's Next for Central Ohio Agile

For years, the Central Ohio Agile Association (COHAA) has served as a cornerstone for IT and business professionals dedicated to finding better ways to inspire creativity and innovation in the delivery of value. But as workplaces, team dynamics, and expectations shift, our community needs to evolve right along with them. * Are your teams facing new forms of organizational friction? * Are traditional Agile frameworks and practices feeling stale, misunderstood, or bogged down by enterprise bureaucracy? * As the Agile landscape changes, let's discuss how our community can continue to provide meaningful connections, learning, and support. **What to Expect** Join us for a high-engagement, collaborative evening. Attendees will drive the agenda. We are gathering Central Ohio's practitioners, leaders, and change-agents to tackle the real challenges happening in our day-to-day work lives. Through a focused interactive conversation, we will consider three critical questions: 1. What dysfunctions are you seeing in the workplace right now? Where are teams getting stuck, and what roadblocks are slowing down delivery? 2. What do you actually need from an Agile user group today? How can COHAA serve as a practical, high-value resource for your career and organization? 3. How can we support each other moving forward? What formats, topics, or connections will make showing up worthwhile for you? *500pm-530pm* Connecting & Networking *530pm-630pm* Community Conversation *630pm* Following the conversation, stick around for open networking with fellow local professionals **Who Should Attend?** * Practitioners, Scrum Masters & Delivery Leads navigating daily team dysfunctions and looking for fresh tactics * Product Owners & Business Analysts trying to maximize business value in shifting environments * IT Leaders & Executives seeking better ways to scale agility and support their people * Anyone in Central Ohio passionate about continuous improvement and looking to help shape the future of our local Agile community Come ready to share your thoughts, vent your workplace frustrations, and help us build a stronger, more resilient community together!

Beyond the Screen: Designing Products for the Spatial Computing Era

For decades, product teams have translated a three-dimensional world into two-dimensional interfaces. We’ve gotten incredibly good at taps, clicks, menus, and scrolls—but what if the screen was never the destination? **ProductTank Columbus welcomes Omari Hitson, VP Lead Product Designer: Emerging Technologies at JPMorgan Chase and President of the Ohio Chapter of the VR/AR Association, for a practical look at what changes when digital products move beyond the screen and into the world around us.** Omari Hitson designs where emerging technology meets real-world product problems. He has experience designing and prototyping across the evolution from traditional mobile and desktop experiences to spatial computing—all within a regulated enterprise environment where new technology has to solve an actual problem, not simply generate excitement. He also serves as Chapter President of the VR/AR Association of Ohio and hosts the OhioXR conferences, putting him at the center of Ohio’s growing XR community. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.
