Agile2012

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold. Test-first and outcome-oriented disciplines such as PDCA or BDD's scenarios are fantastic when someone else knows what they want and you know how to achieve it. But what do you do in high-learning and exploratory environments? What patterns still work when the team have given up on process altogether? What if some functionality is completely new, the rest is covered by third parties, you don't know what the libraries will do for you, and your business stakeholders are still learning too? In this workshop we explore what it means to be in chaotic, complex and complicated environments, and we look at patterns of delivery that can still work effectively when you know you're delivering the wrong thing, but you don't know what the right thing is.
