Good talk! Was a little worried that the talk would just be about introducing Agile development yet again but.. no, it went beyond that. Jeff introduced one thing that the Agile manifesto missed completely, and techniques to avoid delivering crap applications, late. (I would add that Architecture should be addressed the same way in order not to be overlooked). "Embrace uncertainty" could be read "First, learn what your users will appreciate".
If you have to build an application that is to deliver features that you don't know exactly how they will work yet (from the user standpoint), then watch this! Or go straight to Jeff's blog at agileproductdesign.com/blog/emerging_best_agile...
