Summary
In this talk, Dan contrasts the traditional top-down and bottom-up approaches with a proven "outside-in" approach based on real life experience - engaging with and listening to our stakeholders. He shows how this can allow us to stay firmly on track, leading to clean code and effective design that provides maximum value to our stakeholders, not just the famous Scrum Product Owner

This is why he puts so much emphasis on "getting the words right", and why he is so passionate about behaviour-driven development, communication and how people learn.

I am not sure why this presentation suddenly stops after 13 mins? Could we re-post this video again.

Hello Nilanjan,
I just checked and the presentation works fine until the end.
Diana (InfoQ) -
When someone asks you to build something - you need to understand the "words" that they are using to understand what it is that they want you to build. When you ask someone to build something for you - you must use "words" that the potential builder understands or they won't understand what it is that you want them to build.
Of course it's more than just "words" - but Dan's on to something here.
If you don't understand them - and they don't understand you - then you're doomed. -
