Agile Practices Review: A Tactics Retrospective
Twin Cities Software Symposium: Spring
Minneapolis · March 12 - 14, 2010
About this Presentation
Increasingly, people are adopting Agile practices a la carte, and some are even talking about “post-Agile” methodologies. If things are going to be changing, let's take a moment to review Agile development practices, the problems they were trying to solve, what worked, and what difficulties these new methodologies are responding to. With this information in hand, we can make an intelligent decision about the development methodology for our team.
This interactive session will review the why's, wherefore's, and why not's of test-driven development, continuous integration, iterations, “point”-based estimation, retrospectives, scrums, and other Agile practices.
