We have reached the point where some mid-career developers have never known anything but agile (or some definition of agile). I wonder, on balance, though, how they feel about the way they work. Do they feel pride in their work? Do they feel a sense of accomplishment when they release software on a regular cadence? Or is work still a grind – with micro-management and arbitrary deadlines? Some undoubtedly feel the former, and too many the latter.

So, what can we do? Create the next wave. I have some ideas, which we’ll explore in this session!
