The new generation of software companies has revolutionized the way companies are designed. While bottom-up governance and team autonomy improve motivation, performance, and innovation, managing agile development at scale is a challenge. We describe how Spotify cultivates guilds to help the company share knowledge, align, and make collective decisions.

Customers don't know what they want, developers don't know how to build it, and things change! Painful as those problems may be, they are common, in fact, inevitable. Feedback is the only solution. It is not a perfect solution, and interpreting feedback may not always be simple, but it is essential - the only way that we can adapt and learn.

Customers don't know what they want, developers don't know how to build it, and things change! Painful as those problems may be, they are common, in fact, inevitable. Feedback is the only solution. It is not a perfect solution, and interpreting feedback may not always be simple, but it is essential - the only way that we can adapt and learn.

This session examines where, when and how organisations need to embed feedback loops within their development process, from idea evaluation to acceptance testing and monitoring. This helps you set up feedback so that you gain the learning you need, rather than the reassurance you crave, and at the right point - when it is still possible and cheap to change. The session contains numerous activities and case practical suggestions for ways of garnering feedback, from qualitative prototyping to GREEDY algorithms, and considers their use and cost. A practical and comprehensive exploration of feedback in software development, this session is essential reading for almost all roles and levels. Visa mindre

A pull system that uses WIP constraints, Kanban believes in making work and processes visible in order to manage and measure them. The ease with which Kanban can be overlaid onto any existing workflow without disruption has made it a popular choice.

This session considers the five original principles by which Kanban defines itself and the most common tools and practices that enable easy implementation. From negotiating service agreements with other departments to metrics that enable… Visa mer

A pull system that uses WIP constraints, Kanban believes in making work and processes visible in order to manage and measure them. The ease with which Kanban can be overlaid onto any existing workflow without disruption has made it a popular choice.

This session considers the five original principles by which Kanban defines itself and the most common tools and practices that enable easy implementation. From negotiating service agreements with other departments to metrics that enable improvement, this practical guide moves far beyond the simplistic 'task board and wip limit' of which Kanban is sometimes accused. This session builds on a more in-depth explanation of principles about flow found in other sessions, and should be read in conjunction with Queues, Batches and WIP. There are assumptions within Kanban that can lead to disappointing results without a fuller understanding of whether and how to apply Kanban within your own team. Visa mindre

Of the various agile methods and practices which have emerged in recent years, probably the most famous and successful is Scrum, which describes itself as a 'framework' for developing software. Popularity carries a certain risk - the more people adopt or use an idea, the more likely it is to be mistranslated, misunderstood or misapplied. This session provides a thorough, grounding in Scrum, providing you with all you need to get started on implementation.

Of the various agile methods and practices which have emerged in recent years, probably the most famous and successful is Scrum, which describes itself as a 'framework' for developing software. Popularity carries a certain risk - the more people adopt or use an idea, the more likely it is to be mistranslated, misunderstood or misapplied. This session provides a thorough, grounding in Scrum, providing you with all you need to get started on implementation.

We firmly believe, however, that a description of practices is insufficicent to create change. Use this session in conjunction with more others on the thinking behind specific principles such as prioritisation, feedback and collaborative team working. For specific engineering practices that support Scrum, consider sessions in our Quality theme. With these, you can avoid the problems over which many organisations have stumbled when trying to apply Scrum. Visa mindre

In 2011, the agile manifesto turned 10 years old. Some of the agile methodologies are even 5 to 10 year older. In the agile world, we pay a lot of attention to the people in the teams. Thanks to mailing lists and social media, agile leaders are very approachable. Yet we don't know them. This book gives you access to learn a little more about agilists.

In 2011, the agile manifesto turned 10 years old. Some of the agile methodologies are even 5 to 10 year older. In the agile world, we pay a lot of attention to the people in the teams. Thanks to mailing lists and social media, agile leaders are very approachable. Yet we don't know them. This book gives you access to learn a little more about agilists. You will find all kinds of people in this book, people who have been on the Agile Alliance board, Gordon Pask Award winners, Scrum masters, Scrum trainers, people who started movements, people who organized agile conferences, famous authors, hard core teammembers, etc.
You will also read about people who don't consider themselves agilists. They are in this book because they have inspired agilists, and I dare to say that they actually agree with what I call an agile mindset.

All these people have 2 things in common: they are interesting people and they have remarkable stories.
