Overview
“I have seen a little bit of test driven development but I never made it fit my daily activity”. “I tried to use a kanban board but I don’t know what a WIP limit is”. “Jeeez, the more I push harder on job the more mess I get! Why?”. This and many other questions pop up in people approaching agile methods. It is perfectly expected, considering how interconnected all agile practices are. All in all, getting the agile development ‘big picture’ is key to get deep into it. Sure you may specialize in just one or two practices, but still understanding how every practice enhance others is paramount. This will help us keep awareness of our weak sides.

Goals

• Learn what TDD means one step ahead of a “green bar”.
• Learn what a code kata and a code randori are.
• Learn writing thin “vertical” user stories.
• Learn continuous integration requirements and to spot its true value
• Learn pull systems dynamics with experiments and real generated data
• Learn to visualize workflow
• Learn systemic effects of your management decisions with experiments and real generated data
• Learn collaboration patterns
• Learn limiting your work in progress and your multitasking.

Hardware and software requirements :
We’ll work in group or in pairs, but each attendee must bring a laptop with software installed enough to bring an already passing ‘green’ unit test. Test itself will prove right environment configuration. No requirement on technology used: from Java to Python through Scala and Javascript. If you bring a green test, it’s fine.
