Andrei Solntsev from Codeborne will talk about "Church of St.Agile"
There is a lot of agile preachers arguing that it is time to abandon the "traditional approach" and work in new ways. Do they really want to make our lives better or just make the dough? Is it possible to produce software without bugs? Is it possible to write code without documentation? Is it possible to dispense with architects and analysts? Does Agile really work, or it's just another buzzword?
