Producer: Laurent Bossavit
Assistant: Eric Lefevre
Advancing the state of software development practice is a big job. Agile software development builds upon several generations of previous advances: structured programming, iterative and incremental models, object orientation… And Agile as it stands today is still a work in progress. For Agile software development to remain relevant, it must incorporate new ideas continuously.
This stage offers an opportunity to come across ideas that are relevant to Agile but not accepted yet as “mainstream”; it is also a forum for speakers who bring a fresh and surprising look to aspects of Agile we thought familiar.
Topics include:
If you’re looking for new ideas to keep improving your software development practices, Breaking Acts is the stage to be at.
