The Epic Collision of Marketing and Technology
Download as PPTX, PDF3 likes698 views
The document discusses the collision between marketing and technology. It notes that technology is changing exponentially while organizations change logarithmically, creating challenges for marketers. It also discusses how the customer experience has become digital and powered by software. This has significant implications for how marketing functions and succeeds, requiring marketers to adopt more technical skills and adapt using agile marketing principles to stay responsive to constant technological changes. The rise of marketing technology is creating new opportunities for marketers but also requires developing new hybrid roles of "marketing technologists" to bridge both domains.

- 88. This is your task board. Sprint Planning To Do 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1 4 2 In Progress 5 3 The team takes a set of tasks—in order—that they will commit to completing in this sprint. Done

- 90. Sprint 1 day Every day, the team meets for a 15-minute stand-up. Each person on the team answers three questions: Daily Stand-up 1. What did I do yesterday? 2. What am I going to do today? 3. Are there any impediments holding me back?
- 91. Sprint Review To Do In Progress Done At the end of the sprint, the team conducts a review of the work completed. This is a good time to demo and report on progress to management. Often inspires new tasks to be added to the backlog.
