Peter Merel: Three thousand years of agile (ONLINE BREAKFAST)

7:30 am breakfast event!!!
"This is a dangerous little book." -- Kent Beck

"The agile way" is the oldest, deepest, and shortest book on agility in existence, a language of simple interlocking patterns as essential to organizations coping with the intelligence revolution as they were those of the agricultural revolution.

If you see agility as a way of life, this little book will both empower and challenge you. Peter's talk will cover the book's six themes in depth, explain the strange path this book has woven through history, and explore its utility in aligning Agile with AI for organizations struggling to cope with today's ever accelerating pace of change.
