2009-10-01T06:06:30+00:00 192 1511 Join our panel for a heated debate about whether agile project management and Extreme Programming methods are being applied appropriately to the problems they’re meant to solve. How do return-on-investment, opportunity cost, and risk management balance against quality in various project contexts? The overall theme is: maturing from dogmatic adherance, growing up to conscientious contextual application of technique. Jon “Lark” Larkowski of Hashrocket will moderate the discussion. We’ll cover issues such as When is hacking OK for short time-to-market?, Is high-quality code a technical fetish or does it have demonstrable long-term value?, and Do we apply the same standards to short and long-term projects? http://www.alohaonrails.com/sessions/#is-agile-too-slow 2009-10-01T06:06:30+00:00 2009-10-05T17:20:00+00:00 3.78 2009-09-25T09:49:01+00:00 The Aloha on Rails Conference is the premier destination event for Ruby on Rails and Web Development.
