The talk: “Agile Scales, Waterfall doesn’t”

A tale about how, for many years, we were sold the idea that Agile
does not scale when it is actually Waterfall and plan-driven are the
approaches that do not scale. In this talk we will also introduce how
a large company (3000+ developers) works in an agile mode even for the
largest projects: 1000’s of developers in an Agile project is not
Utopia, it’s business as usual at one of the largest software
companies in the world.
