Breaking Barriers: Turning Side Projects into Essential Tools

What can we learn about building solutions for ourselves versus others? Join us for the SEB Talks IT event, where our talented IT professionals will share their career journeys and insights on expanding their knowledge across various technologies. They will discuss how they tackled meaningful side projects, such as the Interactive Teams Restrospective board that helps teams evaluate project outcomes or SEB Happiness index, using Agile tools and the SAFe framework, all while supporting each other’s success.

Expect a detailed look at the architecture and tech stacks of these projects, along with live demos and screenshots. Learn how these internally developed tools gained popularity within the company and the importance of diverse skill sets in a team.

This event is perfect for both newcomers and experienced professionals in the IT field. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with SEB’s IT community!
