Abstract

A panel discussion with the scrummasters of some of the highest priority engineering projects at the WMF. Our teams use a range of methods broadly designed to empower our developers for success that is sustained over time. We will discuss:

  • How we work, in general and specifics (with as little jargon as possible);
  • Why we work this way (why it works so damn well, and what it works better for);
  • What we try to avoid (challenges we have faced); and
  • What we worry about (challenges we still have).
