REAL AGILE: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
=========================================

This session asks some provocative and "no-so-easy-to-answer" AGILE QUESTIONS.

Have you ever considered any of these questions? Let's explore these:

Why do we want software?
Is it possible to do away with programme and portfolio management?
What happens when software allows us to do more?
What does Scrum have to do with a French bakery?

Do projects nurture software?
How can we create contracts for successful software?
How can we move beyond budgeting?
How is software similar to skyscrapers?

How do fixed-length iterations aid learning?
Is brainstorming as effective as most of us think?
Did you know your organisation already hired Scrum Masters?
How can seven people work on one task and be more effective than a single person?

How can you complete UAT before you start development?
Can synchronised tea-break times increase effectiveness?
How can we improve outcomes by reducing efficiency?
Can a robust definition of done improve predictability?

I'm Stuart Turner and I've been developing software for 25 years. I'll share my current understanding and views on some of the above and how I use them to guide my own work and help others create a better world in which to live. I'm a software developer, agility consultant, Certified Scrum Trainer and Co-Active Coach based in Singapore. We'll explore these real questions, and get to the bottom of the real answers. And the answers may surprise you...
