Host: Mary Poppendieck

But although most processes failed to achieve this goal, they were pursued with vigor anyway.In this talk we examine this curious situation and discover that the way we divide up a problem changes the way we look at it.

Kanban vs Scrum

Host: Henrik Kniberg

We see more and more of our clients start using Kanban as a complement to Scrum, and there's a lot of buzz about Kanban in the Agile software development community.

In conjunction with this, Mattias Skarin will show some examples from one of our clients that recently adopted Kanban-style software development.
