Description:

One of the most important keys to your personal or business success is maturity. When it comes to doing quality work for others, at expensive prices, you don’t want immaturity, whether in attitude or practices to derail you. Months ago, Obie proposed an idea which was very controversial, that the community could define a Rails Maturity Model that would describe the ideal way of working with Ruby on Rails. A web application was launched, and later turned into a database showcasing a variety of different maturity models, reflecting different philosophies for approaching Agile software development using Rails. In this session, Obie will moderate a panel discussing the viability and use of “maturity-model” type information, and whether the community should care about it.
