There is quality you don't need and then there is quality you most definitely do need. Gold plating is decidedly unAgile but eliminating rework is essential. The devil is in the detail.

The origins of Agile lie in improved quality. Unfortunately as the Agile debate has deepened and expanded the role of quality is too often overlooked. Unless organizations address the engineering challenges and improve quality most Agile initiatives will fail. All the Agile processes, practices and management is doomed if teams do not improve quality.

In this presentation Allan Kelly will look why improving quality is vital for achieving business Agility, how quality underpins Agile, when quality becomes gold-plating and what teams can do to improve the quality of their code and requirements.
