Talk description
Title:
Agile Unicorns
Short synopsis:
Unicorns are very agile animals (didn’t you know?!). The idea of this talk is to take you on a journey. A journey involving unicorns and how they have embraced the Agile manifesto and principles to grow in the face of continuing high profile programme deliveries, cross site dependencies and changing priorities. If you are looking to understand how others ‘do-it’ or how you can adapt to your surroundings, hopefully this talk will provide some ideas and new thoughts.

Long synopsis (optional):
Team Unicorn live in Leeds as part of Sky’s tech hub. They are responsible for the ‘myaccount’ section of Sky Mobile. As a relatively young proposition within Sky, Sky Mobile has a relentless programme of new, exciting and challenging deliveries. With such high profile and ambitious go-live dates Team Unicorn have had to continually adapt, to enable them to deliver quickly and successfully. Investing/With help from the agile manifesto and it’s 12 principles we have been able to respond to change easily, build better software, increase our customer collaboration and grow our interactions and as individuals. Yes it can be challenging, yes there will be bumps in the road, but with perseverance, team buy-in, time and commitment to these, teams really can grow and become wonderful magical animals.
