Everything we do carries some amount of risk, from getting out of bed in the morning to skydiving. Even writing software is risky! How do we handle those risks? Are common approaches to risk management still applicable in the Agile world?
If you've ever struggled with how to handle risk on an Agile program then come join us to see why our brains make us react in a mostly risk averse way, what we can do about it, and how Agile specifically addresses many aspects of software risk. Also, we will look at how an Agile program can live in harmony with enterprise risk departments.
We’ll have fun along the way. We’ll play some games, we’ll see how cognitive biases often mess us up, we’ll find out why people play the lottery, and how you can avoid gambling with your software projects.
