Start the year with an insightful Agile Yorkshire Meetup featuring two engaging talks. First, David Turner will share his Agile Journey, reflecting on his 20 years in the software industry, from founding the Extreme Programming Club (which later became Agile Yorkshire) to running his company, Codera. David will talk about what he’s learned from working in both large organisations and startups, highlighting which parts of Agile have been misunderstood and misrepresented, and offering his thoughts on what truly drives successful delivery. Next, Ash Winter will dive into the topic of Tested to Death, sharing his experiences with testing at a startup. He’ll discuss the challenge of finding the right balance and intensity of testing, and how tests can become “golden handcuffs” that hinder progress. Ash will offer practical advice on how to prevent testing from becoming a bottleneck, and how to turn your tests into valuable tools that help generate real value instead of just adding unnecessary checks. Come along to learn from two experienced professionals and engage in thought-provoking discussions about Agile delivery and testing.
