A bit of festive magic for you. 

We have invited Marcin Floyran and Sebastian Lambla back onto the podcast to discuss VeST (Vertical Slice Technologies). They were last on the podcast about two years ago to talk about Agile Anarchy and we asked them back to talk about VeST. So here it is. Aslak is asking the questions. 

This is a great listen for those who are interested in building customer-centric, high-quality software products.


Topics discussed during the podcast include:

 - The core concepts of VeST and its benefits.

 - Why focusing on the customer can be a great first-step for teams steeped in legacy code.

 - Debunking hexagonal architecture and ports and adapters. 

 - The role of traditional testers and mob testing.

Agile Outside Software Teams

We continue our series responding to Martin Fowler's State of Agile 2018 speech. This week we look at Fowler's second claim - that agile software development has forgotten that it's about software, and that technical excellence in practises like refactoring, testing, and architecting should be (but isn't) central to discussions of good agile practise. We agree with Fowler and go even further, arguing that we should be making the (strong) case for technical excellence as a source of business value - to make our products more flexible, easier to use, and more satisfying to users.
