Older presentations, and in English, mostly:
- Agile Vancouver Conference, Nov. 3, 2009: What Colours is your Backlog (revisited)
… where I revisit an older presentation, adding some elements about value, cost, technical debt, risk… Videos of the presentation are here.
- JAOO, Århus, Denmark, Oct 7, 2009: Software Architecture Representation
- Agile Vancouver on September 21, 2009 & Scrumtisch in Berlin on June 17, 2009: What colours is your backlog?
… where I speak about backlog and time-box, about value versus cost, about visible features versus invisible features (and in particular software architecture), about defects and technical debt, and more generally about release planning and sprint planning for non-trivial and long-lived software development projects.
- USC in LA, June 8, 2009: Software Architecture and Agile Software Development—An Oxymoron?
Can an architecture-centric process be also agile? Should an agile team focus on architecture? BUFD and YAGNI? More a matter of co-existence between two cultures.
- Scrum Gathering, in Orlando, March 2009: What colours is your backlog? (see above; almost same slides)
- XP 2008 Keynote in Limerick, on June 14, 2008: Agility situated–Context does matters, a lot
… where I contend that most of the value of any software development practice depends on its context, and that Agility for an organization is not defined by simply embracing a labeled set of practices; nor even by a level of conformance to the agile manifesto. Agility should be defined relative to the value it brings to the business, namely the capacity of an organization to react and adapt faster than its environment can change. How agile an organization is, or can afford to be, will depend not on the practices alone, but on the context in which they are applied: how fit to that context are they. How do we define “context”? What elements or attributes of this context have a bearing on the selection of the set of practices an organization should adopt, and therefore how ‘agile’ it should strive to be? I’ll share some experience of applying agile practices far from their “sweet spot”, leading to the concept of situated agile processes. (see also this post)
