Danko told us about what does modern science think about the motivation and what companies are doing about it. The difference is HUGE. Recommended. Not a new topic for me, I was bored a little in the middle of the presentation.

3. Lasse Koskela “Agile Workflows for Version Control”

I liked the content of the presentation where two approaches to the Agile branching strategies was compared, but I don't get the why it was given so much time for arguing. Could not find the slides.

4. Lightning talks

Felix R?ssel  @ArmerKater  "Definition of Ready"

Lightening Talk: definition of ready

Felix told us about how important is to have a Stories READY before implementation is started. We already practising this in our teams, but the very useful to the see that somebody summed up this. Recommended.

5. J.B. Rainsberger “The Extreme Decade: Progress, Pain, Paradox”

The Extreme Decade
