Software engineering, coding, and programming are all terms that accompany many different languages and operational functions that result in something we can grasp throughout various devices. However, the ways that code is written and delivered to the customer differ, and one of the main principles of work and development is Agile. 

Based on the Agile Manifesto, the Agile way of developing software originated at a resort in Utah, the United States, where seventeen people met to talk, ski, relax, and try to find a common ground – and of course, to eat. Their goal was to find a way to move away from documentation-driven development process and work based on heavyweight processes.

But what does it take to be truly Agile? What about the age-old question of why did the chicken cross the road?

And if you were taken aback by the second question, asking yourself what a chicken crossing the road has to do with the Agile manifesto, do not get confused – as the answer to these two questions can be the same.

Still wondering how much these two philosophical dilemmas have in common?

Then come and join the event, jointly organized by Voltas IT and Agile Lietuva, to discuss the subject and many other topics related to the Agile Manifesto on May 26, 2022. The event will begin at 18:000 and end at 20:00.

All of the presentations during the event will be held in Lithuanian. The following speakers will be attending:

• Viktoras Valiokas, Scrum Master at Voltas IT, who will be answering the question What does it take to be Agile?;
• Kęstutis Mikelėnas, Agile Coach at CID Lietuva will explore the dilemma on how to continue creating value and still have fun, the Agile way.

On the last Friday of April 2022, the Voltas IT team celebrated the first anniversary of the company’s identity project – Voltas IT Atom. The Atom project unifies everything of who we are, what are we doing daily, and where do we want to be in the future.

Symbolically named Atomic Friday, the event, which will be held annually gathered everyone at the company’s offices at Magnum Business Center. With the goal to emphasize our vision, mission, and values, the event had Atom-themed visual cues and an activity that was all about working together to solve a puzzle. At the end of Atomic Friday, it was reaffirmed that the Voltas IT team is able to work collectively not only when tackling regular office tasks but also on more complex and out-of-the-box puzzles such as the one on Friday.

During the Atomic Friday, which was fully decorated around the Atom project, the team was split into several smaller groups and tasked to unlock a chest by solving several puzzles. The task emphasized the importance of working together and helping each other even if you are from different teams and trying to solve what looked like different riddles.

“As a fast-growing company of innovators, we chose to present our identity in a more engaging way with 3D animations,” commented Vilma Launikonienė, the Chief Commercial and Organization Development Officer at Voltas IT. “We hope we have also created a tradition at the company, as the Atomic Friday is scheduled to become an event that would repeat annually, engaging our colleagues and us having another celebration to anticipate each year,” added Launikonienė.

With the help of the annual celebration, visuals around the office, and internal communication, these fundamentals will continue to be the basis of every decision when working with OBDeleven, the smart diagnostic device developed by Voltas IT.
