Presentation: "Are Agilists the Bonobos of Software Development?"

Time: Thursday 16:30 - 17:30

Location: Trifork Headquarters

Abstract: The chimpanzees and the bonobos are the animals whose genetic make-up is closest to that of human beings, but their ?cultures? (and, yes, these animals definitely have well-defined cultures) are very different. The chimpanzees are aggressive, and operate in a strict, alpha-male-dominated hierarchy, while the bonobos are gentle and promiscuous! What sort of tie-could this have for those of us who favor agile development over plan-driven?
