About the session

No one method fits all projects in all organisations, different techniques work in different situations. However, what is more important is that we have a set of core principles that sit at the heart of any approach we adopt. These principles are not limited to any single method or even role or period within a method. By following a set of well understood guiding principles and using a continuous cycle of inspection and adaptation, the process, practices and techniques will evolve to best fit the situation. In this presentation I'll share what I believe are the core principles for a great development team.
