Agile is Dead (Long Live Agility) • Pragmatic Dave Thomas • YOW! 2015
This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2015. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Pragmatic Dave Thomas - Pragmatic Programmer Turned Publisher @pragdave RESOURCES https://pragdave.me / pragdave https://github.com/pragdave / dave-thomas-53aa1057 ABSTRACT Dave Thomas was one of the creators of the Agile Manifesto.

It turns out that while the "Agile" industry is busy debasing the meaning of the word, the underlying values are still strong. In this talk, Dave will draw a distinction, and show us how to reclaim agility for ourselves. As usual, he'll probably end up making some friends, and making some enemies. Which will you be?
