We had a good turnout for our first Extreme Programmers London meetup hosted at Unruly and gathered plenty of ideas for future sessions.
Here's some of the suggestions of topcs came out of group discussion:
- Hiring process
- Experience reports where XP hard to apply
- Pairing with unpairables
- How to accelerate feedback loops
- Internal knowledge share in XP teams
- Quality / Productivity
- Global, distributed teams
- User stories
- Techniques to make Continuous Deployment easier
- Helping product understand technical debt and avoiding it
- Teaching advancing TDD
- XP 101: discuss each practice - still relevant? successes?
- Test driving the hard bits eg, security, resilience
- Object callesthenics
- Show 'n' tell - learnings from retrospectives
- Interconnectedness of things
- Things we used to do in XP
- Modern XP for concurrent f() world
- Embrace Change vs sticking to trad XP
We are probably going to vary the format from month to month with shorter presentation and longer discussion slots. Next time we'll have 2 short talks plus a Fishbowl Book club session on Extreme Programming Explained, first edition (the white book).
