Surviving the Kobayashi Maru: Coping with Failure on Agile Projects
by Thomas Perry
One of the central tenets of Agile has always been to "Fail Faster." But let's face it, failing sucks! For the little stuff it may be OK, but when its you and your team on the line, failure isn't nearly so attractive. Failure comes with a cost as well as a benefit. In this session through a series of collaborative discussions we discuss ways to bring compassion, reality, and a quick recovery back to teams that have recently failed. Attendees will have a chance to share their own perspectives and strategies for dealing with failure and subsequent recovery.
