Ping-Pong Pairing
Raymond Lewallen &
David Laribee Pair Programming is a central method of a high-functioning Agile team. It amplifies Test-Driven Development (TDD) and promotes Collective Code Ownership. Despite the numerous benefits, installing Pair Programming often fails with first attempts perceived as frustrating for more experienced developers and flat-out boring for the non-coding partner. Wouldn't it be great if pair programming was easy, engaging, and (dare to dream) fun?! Enter Ping Pong Pairing (PPP)! Join Dave Laribee and Raymond Lewallen for a match of PPP. Serving the rules of the game, Dave and Ray will start a long volley of TDD and share key tips for putting a little backspin on your solutions!

After Agile, What?
Dave Nicolette There has been a lot of discussion in the agile community in recent months about where the software development profession should go next in its evolution. People have been using agile methods (by that name) since 2001 and even longer than that, before the name "agile" was coined. Today, it seems as if any and all methodologies are called "agile" if someone stands to make money by calling them that. What lessons have we learned and what do we need to do next to improve our effectiveness?

Balancing Plan-Driven and Agile Methodologies 1378 Views

Balancing Plan-Driven and Agile Methodologies
Craig Utley Many developers eschew heavy, plan-driven methodologies in favor of lighter-weight agile methodologies because they seem far less intrusive and provide more flexibility. Other developers, and many businesses, find agile to be too unstructured and liken it to seat-of-the-pants hacking. Both sides are full of misconceptions and the truth is that both plan-driven and agile methodologies have great benefits. Every project is different and each one requires a different mix of techniques from both camps. This session describes major tenets of both plan-driven and agile methodologies and describes a logical approach to determining how agile or plan-driven each project should be. It seeks to dispel the myths around each and get proponents on both sides to stop arguing long enough to actually work together.
