Kanban provides much more value than simply visualization and is quickly evolving into a critical practice that all teams, regardless of their methodology or state of Agile adoption should consider. In this session you will learn how you can use Kanban practices to make dramatic and lasting improvements to your software development process regardless of the methodology your team is using today.
5/15/2012 : 11:00am - 12:00pm EDT Agile and Quality: It is not an Oxymoron but a Necessity with Ralph Jocham If at all, then only intrinsic quality can be tested into a product during the hardening phase. However, even if all the bugs are removed, this does not guarantee the extrinsic quality – the usability and enjoyment – of a product. In order to meet the end users expectations, an overall high quality product, both aspects of quality, intrinsic and extrinsic, must be met. This talk will show how a combination of Agile processes and techniques lend themselves to achieve exactly this goal; a high quality and highly usable software with happy customers.
