Description: The XP 2018 Conference & the 3X Model
Thene will share ideas, findings, and photos from the recent XP 2018 Agile Alliance conference in Portugal. She’ll briefly discuss some of the “hot topics” at the conference, and then she’ll dig in deeper to one key topic, Kent Beck’s 3X model. Thene will provide an overview of the 3X model and then lead a group discussion about how this model is changing the shape of her thinking about agile vs. waterfall, scaling concerns, and factory models for IT.
