Lets stop calling it "agile"
Add to calendarAgile development has grown a lot since its rebeleous 2001 start. In fact, it has grown to be the mainstream way of developing software.
The time has come to drop the word ‘agile.’ Agile development is just modern practices in software development. There is no need to explicitly mark practices as Agile. There is no need anymore for opposing camps. Keeping the word Agile and things like “the Agile conference” is holding the development of modern SW development practices back.
This session will be in debate form to discuss the above mentioned motion.
This session will be a debate. In the beginning of the session, a couple of people will select the “for” side and a couple of people will select the “against” side. Each couple is given a short time to prepare their statements. Afterwards, the will debate each others perspective and the audience is given the floor to ask questions and to jump in.
In the end, the audience will select the winning couple and the motion is either passed or rejected.
The agenda would be something like: * Introduction and explanation of motion * Selection of the two parties * Preparation time * Opening statement both parties * Debate and questions audience * Motion accepted or rejected?
