Our world changes at increasing speed. Things that weren’t possible 5 years ago come into reach. Incumbents need to adapt to match start-ups. We evolve towards smaller, faster, shorter. Smaller teams or even micro-teams, flat organizations, no management, even shorter cycles, smaller components. During this inspiring talk, Sander discusses Cynefin, how development goes wrong, how to go beyond Scrum, why self-organization is hard, why continuous delivery allows you to stop doing projects.
