Title: Less is more - an introduction to low-fidelity approaches
Proposer: Seb Rose
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 90 mins
Description:
This session will demonstrate some key techniques that help decompose
large problems.
Decomposing problems is a key skill that all software developers need,
but we're often not very good at it. Whether it's stories that take
longer than an iteration, or features that can't be delivered in the
expected release, we've all seen the problems that tackling an
over-large problem can cause.
We'll work through two detailed examples to demonstrate the value of
delivering small, low-fidelity pieces of work early rather than
prematurely focusing on fully-polished final versions. One example will
walk through development at the implementation level using TDD, while
the second will work through an epic, taking it down to stories that can
be implemented in one or two days.
By the end of this session, you'll see that small IS beautiful, and
understand just how small, small can really be.
JJ: Seb says he could also run this as a whole day workshop
