Monthly Meeting - Attacking Things Incrementally

Topic: Attacking Things Incrementally

Small increments tend to result in better software. They give more opportunity for feedback. It is easier to ensure quality and to track down issues. And you get more visibility into your progress.

In this talk, we'll establish principles to identify which ways of splitting the work will help and which might hurt. We'll talk about tricks and techniques for splitting your backlog items up so that each part adds incremental value and provides meaningful information towards making better next steps while remaining releasable.

It is common for teams to struggle at doing things incrementally. They are used to doing things in an all or none fashion. Their processes are designed for tackling things in large chunks. This talk will help explore the barriers that teams must overcome to truly be agile.
