Leiden.dev • Best practices of agile teams

March edition with talks by Jakob Buis and Michiel Beijen.

⚡ Lightning Talk: “Finger in 2026” by Michiel Beijen.
Finger is one of the oldest internet protocols. It is extremely simple. Michiel will show how it works, how he uses it on his tilde server and how he reimplemented it in Python with systemd!

🧠 Main Talk: “Best Practices of Agile Teams” by Jakob Buis.
Some agile teams just work. They ship consistently, make better decisions, and actually improve over time. What are they doing differently? Jakob cuts through the theory and gets straight to the practices. Drawing from real teams, he'll cover four concrete habits that separate high-performing agile teams from the rest:

• Understanding what your users actually do with your product;
• Shipping working software every single sprint;
• Making estimation less of a guessing game;
• Running retrospectives that lead to real change.

No frameworks, no fluff — just practical techniques you can bring back and try on Monday.
