Agile Sydney are proud to present our first event for 2011.
We are pleased to kick off the year with an informal pub event based in the CBD.
5:30M ARRIVAL -- 6:00PM START
GOOGLE: IS THIS AGILE?
Please come and join Google's Dhanji R. Prasanna while he compares his current project to several of the popular agile markers and asks "is this agile?".
Here are some of his observations:
- We don't use stories
- Features can't always be user-centric
- We don't talk about spikes or iteration planning
- We don't have stakeholders, or even a board
- We don't do estimation or points or scoring
Surely this isn't agile?
Is your project more agile than this?
How do we measure agility?
Dhanji will regale us of his project for a brief 15 mins and then open up the floor to opinions and questions.
This will be a very informal session; as always the bar will operate throughout and you're welcome to buy a drink during proceedings as long as you don't heckle.
We look forward to seeing you there
