Thursday, December 8 | The Alphabet Soup of Agile Testing
TDD (Test-driven development) - many folks have heard of it, but hardly anybody actually does it. Why not? Are there better choices? With testing resource constraints a major obstacle to Agile adoption, modern test practices and tools are more important than ever. In this interactive live session, we will navigate through the acronyms and identify concrete, practical practices that your team can use to get ahead in the quality game.

Thursday, November 3 | Scrum-damentals
Scrum is the most adopted and recognized agile methodology. However, there are still challenges to Scrum adoption. This event will dive into several Scrum adoption pitfalls and how an organization can avoid them. In particular, we will highlight some of the proven practices that have worked for diverse sets of teams. We will also leave time for questions and encourage attendees to bring your most challenging problems!
Friday, November 4 | Limit Work in Process (WIP)
Overloaded individuals and teams suffer from bad multitasking. They are also cursed with long lead times, poor quality, and high rates of failure. Kanban limits work in process (WIP) to improve the flow in a development process. This event is more technical than the earlier Kanban events. During the event, we will expose the problems caused by excessive WIP, and the wide-ranging benefits of reducing WIP.
