In My Team This Works but I Don’t Know Why
summary
The talk examines the lack of scientific evidence behind many agile practices and techniques, questioning reliance on personal experience and team anecdotes like “it works for us.” It discusses whether and how empirical studies and evidence-based approaches can be used to choose agile practices despite practical difficulties, and points listeners to related resources (audio, videos, and a book) for further exploration.
