Event description: The time has come to shift our focus away from process to products and people. Ten years into the agile movement, yesterday’s fresh, lightweight processes are gaining weight and calcifying to a dangerous degree.  

Agile practices are powerful tools, but should no longer be the focus of daily discussion. Real value flows as development agility augments design thinking and continually discovers the context of your product: users, use and market. From design thinking, to lean start-ups, to the value of simple checklists, this talk will challenge you to stop focusing on improving your process and start focusing on improving your product. Come ready to think, question and rethink your use of agile practices.
