Mohinder Kohsla Design thinking A complimentary approach to agileAgileCymru
With so many projects not meeting their projected goals, either through over delivery of functionality to not fit for purpose or not meeting market needs due to our inability to accurately capture customer requirements. Developers are looking at new ways of product development such as design thinking that is user-centred in its ability to capture not only the functional, but also the emotional unmet needs of the customer

The concept of Technical Debt is always different when you ask a developer or a sponsor. Why is it that complicated to understand for the sponsors? Why do developers struggle to explain it? I’m sharing my failed and successful attempts with Technical Debt in three different countries and different contexts. Each time I was on a different role and my perspective was different, but in every case, I needed to deal with technical debt.
Agenda of the talk:
What’s technical debt?
What does the developer mean with technical debt?
What does the sponsor understand with technical debt?
I tried, but I failed: several examples trying to add technical debt to the backlog and why I think I failed
We tried, and it worked! Some examples of success stories adding technical debt to the backlog.
Key factors: team decision, trade of, conversation.
Wrapping Up
Since the introduction of Agile, a lot of companies have tried to impose the same framework at a big scale without suiting the framework to customer context and to a wider strategic vision. Agile has never been about frameworks or locking your customers into one way of doing things.
I will show examples of bad Agile practices and why the Agnostic Agile Oath is needed – One size does not fit all! I will introduce the Agnostic Agile Oath, it’s creators, and the reasons it was created. I will then review the twelve agreements of the oath citing real life examples for each. Agile is not the final goal, it is only the mean to reach the real goal.
