Simply pointless: Apples and Oranges
30 Mins
Talk
Beginner
About 15 years after the advent of “agile” as an industry we are largely unable to obtain better results. In this talk we look at trends in the industry regarding both projects and processes. The speaker also separates the wheat from the chaff, to arrive at the choices companies/projects can make.

Save our Ship, less is more
20 Mins
Talk
Advanced
Scrum of Scrums has a mixed record of effectiveness. The vast majority completly miss the point of stand-ups and Scrum of Scrums. The last few years have seen unscrupulous consultants sell all sorts of pills for the ills of scaling. If a project needs more than 15 people, it is crucial one understands the Central issue of scaling.
In this talk I take the audience through the common pitfalls and explain the irrelavance of the question: "How can we scale agile?"

Architectural hiccups (and you really shouldn't bother with sprint-0)
45 Mins
Experience Report
Intermediate
While design changes can be made as we go, sprint on sprint, the poping up of architectural changes seems insurmountable. It is need not be so.
In this session, we provide a narrative of an online gaming product developed. This is a massively multi-player online game, for casual as well as professional players (with real sustantial money). Such a product needs to grapple with non-functional imperatives well beyond the run of the mill server-side software. As the project progressed new performance and security imperatives materialised.
How the team made adjustments in face of changing non-functional (and some perculiar functional) imperatives is the focus of this talk.
