Industry fads and fashions continue within agile guidance. From Scrum to Kanban to DSDM and now SAFe jostling for attention and certification spending. Extreme Programming still stands, almost uniquely, as a guiding light untainted by a business model. There is no XP Alliance, Lean XP University or Scaled XP Academy. Making use of XP ideas is simply down to practice and so is demonstrating proficiency. How old fashioned! This month we welcome Rachel Davis back to Agile Yorkshire to talk about how she has been using XP in her current role at Unruly. As a practised and in demand speaker Rachel is not to be missed. During the first half of the evening Ray Edgar will also touch on the guidance theme and explore some code threads within some old and new agile frameworks. Many of you will know Ray as a regular attendee and supporter of Agile Yorkshire now turned contributor and speaker.
