Talk synopses:

Valerie Dryden @outragedracoon - Radical Candor

People are complicated and working together is hard. By acknowledging this and taking care of the needs of others and sharing context, we can avoid unnecessary conflict. Radical Candor is an approach to this that gives us techniques we can use to better communicate with others and in turn work more effectively together.

Gary Fleming @garyfleming - Beyond Frameworks: Thinking and Tools

Frameworks. Methodologies. Ceremonies. Manifestos. Some would say they represent the collective wisdom of our community. Others would say we often buy things wholesale to avoid having to engage our brains. The truth is messier.

From the idea of cadence to the ceremonies of Scrum, let's examine the value of the scaffolding of Agile and try to think more clearly about what we need. What we really need. We'll find alternatives to the common solutions we see, and figure out how to look for our own contextual answers, rather than just copying what Spotify did again.

We'll separate the Why from the What, the Wheat from the Chaff, the Agile from the marketing.
