Keynotes from Ali Walker and Marty Cagan
Elabor8 (nice plug Tony)
Sharon Robson from enterprising agility – enjoying the recognition that Agile adoption starts from the top down, agile at scale is about the thinking and thought processes being applied throughout the entire organisation, looking forward to Sandra Davey on “Upon retrospective: the board went Agile“
Steve Lawrence – a member of the “11 club”, agile should be a mechanism to create greater value not reduce headcount, every small step you take is a step forward

Episode 96: YOW! 2014 Brisbane Vox Pop

September 30, 2015 by The Agile Revolution

Clearing out the backlog, Craig and Tony roam the corridors at YOW! 2014 in Brisbane and talk to attendees and old friends and colleagues. Despite Tony’s fetish with pineapples and the fact it took 96 episodes to get a mention of ISO-9126 they talk to:

Craig Aspinall on hosting the highly rated talk by Troy Hunt on “Hack Yourself First” and Peter Bell on “How to Undo Almost Anything with Git” and that listening to security talks is like watching horror movies, completely terrifying and entertaining at the same time!
Jason Royals and Carlo Simbag on cheesecake and great talks by Troy Hunt, Jez Humble, Gojko Adzic and Gabrielle Benefield
Andrew Newman on using Scala in the enterprise, keynotes from Martin Thompson and Todd Montgomery as well as Ed Kmett
Sharon Robson on using Agile at Tatts Group, her favourite standard ISO-9126, Boehm’s Quality Tree, getting rid of “THWADI”
Darren Cotterill on Optiver being the second best place to work in Australia, enjoyed Jon Eaves on Microservices
Aran Elkington on Agile at Youi, Jeff Patton and his cake wrecks and the underlying theme of microservices at the conference
Matt Callanan on DevOps Brisbane, DevOps Days Brisbane, “it’s all about Docker”
Michael Villis on Agile and Lean really being about doing the right things rather than just looking busy
Peter Oxenham on looking for outcomes and different ways to look at problems
