Short Talk summaries...
Agile Puzzle &ndash\; Detail P
lanning and Tracking in Agile - Jean-Sacha Melon\, Scott-Logic\, Delivery
Principal
One misconception that seems prevalent with organisations
adopting agile is around using story points for planning\, forecasting an
d progress tracking. Long and mid-term planning in agile can negatively im
pact teams\, this talk will shed some light on it and how the situation ca
n be tackled in an agile way providing much better results for the project
and the organisation itself.
#noestimates from the Trenches - Chri
s Preece
Estimates are an everyday part of software development. Te
ams use estimates for planning and organisations use them for budgeting. M
ost agile teams now no longer estimate using time\, and the perils of this
approach are more widely understood. Instead\, relative size estimation (
using story points or similar) are used. Is this more effective? Is there
a better way to get the information organisations and teams want without r
eading runes\, looking into a crystal ball\, or training yourself to read
tarot cards? Applying a predictive model\, rather than a model based on es
timates could help you\, your team\, your organisation\, and your customer
s plan and budget better than you do now.
Applied Experimentation i
n the Explore\, Exploit and Secure framework - Mike Moran\, Skyscanner\, E
ngineering Manager
Mike works on a team which owns features like th
e Homepage and Browse Views. This short talk looks at how they have balanc
ed developing entirely new features with getting the best out of existing
features\, whilst tackling the "\;scourge of BAU"\;. The applicati
on of experimentation in each area will be used as a spotlight to show the
difference between Explore\, Exploit and Secure work.
