Forget about Agile, let’s write great code first!

10:30 - 11:00, 22nd of May (Thursday) 2014/ XL STAGE

The Agile values don’t seem to say much about engineering excellence. In fact, they don’t say anything about engineering at all. But digging a little bit deeper, one quickly realizes that the benefits of Agile methods and practices cannot be realized with low quality software. Agile depends on engineering excellence. So forget about Agile for a moment and implement engineering excellence; or in other words start building software the right way. Because only then will you be able to rapidly and continuously build the right software. Come to this session to learn about what great software engineering and agile have in common. If you are serious about engineering, this is where you need to be.
