Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI and the Ensemble: Mob Programming's New Frontier with James Herr and Woody Zuill
Q: So I guess what types of problems have you been seeing that come out of it? Or is it all really good and mobbing solves a lot of this stuff?
There are persistent queuing and inventory problems that become more obvious with AI, and teams need to address how to include the right people at the right times while managing new cues introduced by AI. Some constraints and planning approaches, like having product owners involved and using larger batch planning, help mitigate these issues.
Abid Quereshi on No Such Thing as the Agile Manifesto
Q: In your opinion, why do higher education institutions still teach Waterfall?
Higher education institutions are following industry trends rather than leading, resulting in outdated methodologies being taught, despite the need for innovation in software development education.
Abid Quereshi on No Such Thing as the Agile Manifesto
Q: What are your thoughts when you think about software development, Agile, what it was about then and what it's about today?
The original ideas were about promoting lightweight methods, but today there's a focus on heavyweight processes that slow progress down.
Abid Quereshi on No Such Thing as the Agile Manifesto
Q: Can you please introduce yourself to the audience?
Abid Qureshi is a coach in software development, living in London, originally from Canada, specializing in Agile methodologies, mostly Extreme Programming, and a certified Scrum trainer.
Powerful, Profitable Software Products – Behind the Book with Kyle Rowland
Q: How do you build a shared understanding of practices that vary between team members?
It's vital to approach discussions about practices with a rational basis, sharing underlying principles and goals, rather than relying on subjective opinions or anecdotal evidence.
