Presentation: How doing the little things well makes the big things possible

Time: Tuesday 16:05 - 16:55 / Location: Promenade Ballroom B & C

What we do in software development is hard. Lots of companies, teams, and people pick up Agile approaches to make it easier, and then realize it’s still really hard. They learn that Agile didn’t fix things. And, then they get to work trying to fix Agile. What they, and I, often forget is that it’s doing the little things well that makes the big things easier. This talk is about the little things. The stuff hidden between the lines of the Agile books. The stuff the experts know that’s hard to explain. You’ll leave this talk with lots of small things to do that’ll make a big difference.
