What is PPT Karaoke?
Imagine this: You have to deliver a PowerPoint® presentation about an
unfamiliar topic, with slides you've never seen, to an audience eager
to heckle and laugh at you. If you’re in your underwear, you're having
a nightmare. If you're clothed, it's called PowerPoint Karaoke

What is bloblive?
Bloblive is the open mic night for entrepreneurs...no guitar necessary...just a willingness to share any idea at any stage (dream, start-up or well-established). Everyone in the audience (and those watching it streamed live online) can provide feedback about a question or problem facing the presenter.

Agile and Scrum are becoming standard hiring requirements... which presents the dilemma of you have to have experience to get experience. Agile and Scrum are really, really hard to understand from a book, website, or online resource. You have to be on a team that does it this way with real, live people you can talk to and collaborate with to learn how to do it. But if your company isn't running this process and you can't apply what you learn in a real world scenario, how do you learn Agile and Scrum?
