Why Your Agile Team Is Building a Digital Tower of Babel (XP 2016 Secrets)

Helen Sharp, Tracy Hall

You've seen it happen: a billion-dollar system, built with the most advanced agile methods on earth, collapses into a burning pile of digital rubble. Why? Because we are accidentally rebuilding the Tower of Babel. This video dives into the brutal findings from the 17th International Conference on Agile Processes (XP 2016), edited by Helen Sharp and Tracy Hall. We expose the three deadly data chasms where your user feedback silently evaporates, the mathematical war between your agility metrics, and the class warfare between designers and developers that kills products. Learn how the University of Vienna resurrected a dead project, how Ericsson scales planning games without losing their minds, and why safeScrum is the only way to build life-or-death software. If you manage a tech team or work in one, this is the uncomfortable truth your company needs to hear.
