Scrum Alliance - What’s Hot in Agile? (Special topics, reviews, Q&A from Agile 2011)

Topic: What’s Hot in Agile?

This interactive session will touch on many topics. The format will be that of a TV interview. Alan will play Oprah and provide some initial questions for Perry. There will be plenty of audience questions and participation – so bring your burning questions.

The context for the discussion will be the Agile 2011 Conference that recently occurred. Agile 2011 occurred on the 10 year anniversary of the drafting/signing of the agile Manifesto, had a wide range of topics. Perry will recap the “latest and greatest” thinking on many of the topics such as

Keynotes – “An Agile Mindset” (by Linda Rising), “Positivity” (by Barbera Frederickson)
Complexity Frameworks
Distributed development (from Scott Ambler and others)
Ux with development (from Jeff Patton and others)
Games and the use of games

While there will be a few slides to summarize key topics and provide lots of references, this will be an interactive session.
