Deliberate Discovery - Step Away From The Tools
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
In this talk, Liz and Dan introduce BDD from a new perspective, taking the focus away from the tools and scenarios and returning to the language, conversations and philosophies at its heart. With deliberate Discovery addressing our ignorance and misunderstanding across technology, people and process, and Real Options allowing us to focus on the risks inherent within each, this talk will help you to apply the BDD mindset and patterns across multiple scales, from the initial vision all the way to the code.
