What's holding your teams back from delivering timely, quality software in a well-balanced work environment?

Rob Myers describes the common problem as "The Agilist's Dilemma." The solution, fortunately, has been part of "agile" all along.

In this session, Rob will describe and diagram the "Core Four" technical practices (including: diligent refactoring, test/behavior-driven development, Continuous Integration, and Pair/Mob/Ensemble- Programming), and then explore the dynamics amongst them.

After the presentation, attendees will be able to:
- discuss the benefits and costs of a particular technical practice with their team and leadership.
- articulate how these particular practices support each other.
- identify the root causes of software quality degradation.
- identify the root causes of a slow-down in the delivery of valuable software product backlog items.

Rob is at his best when responding to your concerns and skepticism, so we'll spend the last part of the session in conversation and Q&A.

This sessions is part of the Continuous Improvement Series, in which presenters share their expertise and highlight the tools available to Scrum Alliance certificate holders from Comparative Agility. It will be recorded and available on the Scrum Alliance website. It is valid for 1 SEU.
