What is Lean? - 11 July 2019
When we talk about any tool, technique or practice that we like, we can fall into the trap of thinking that “Everything good is X” and “X is everything good.” If we truly want to understand a concept, we need to know what it includes and what it does not. After this session, we will have a clear understanding of what Lean is, how we might apply it to software development, and when we would and wouldn't want to. This session includes several hands on activities that drive the content home.

Professional Craftsmanship - 11 July 2019
As our profession grows and matures, it becomes more and more important for us to develop a sense of what it means to be a software professional. Analogies to existing professions are easily drawn. Precision and analytical problem solving are essential. So are we engineers? Creativity and willingness to try things we’ve never done are core to success. So are we artists? We are a new breed of professional that draws on but is unique from what has come before.
