Keynote: Technical Excellence
Technical excellence is more than two week sprints, a burn down chart and a daily stand up. The basic rules of Agile or Scrum is not an end in itself, but rather staring point based upon principles and practices that allow and encourage teams to adopt, adapt, and refine their craft.
Technical excellence requires focus. Focus on the customer; focus on discovering and avoiding wasteful activities; focus on code quality. It means continually learning; it means working as a team; it means being realistic about what is possible. We’ll look at why technical excellence is critical and what each of us can do to strive for technical excellence.
Tuesday (November 19th) - 09:00 - 09:45 on Embedded, Agile / PC
