    Will we let Agile develop?

    by Deborah Hartmann

    I liked Anderson's query at the end: when people make proposals to this conference for these new ideas... will we let them in? or not?

    Good question.

    Wow!

    by Olivier Gourment

    This is really 4 or 5 presentations in one. Extremely dense and high quality. David explains the real values behind the Agile manifesto (he "modelizes" Agile), compares Agile with Lean, then sells Kanban and finally CMMI. Definitely fine food for thought. I had to listen to it twice to start getting the key messages. Highly recommended presentation for whoever wants to understand where Agile is/should be heading.
