Description

We are all seeking for good advices, recipes and rules of thumbs to make our designs better, our requirements strong and accurates, our user interfaces outstanding and more and more... But there are as many set of rules or advices as there are gurus. And as smart as they are, their rules are only good advices, not final weapons usable in each and every situation. It's because there is no final weapon. Human mind can't be replaced and will not be. Then I crossed Scott Meyer advice. Amazingly it helped me to challenge my ideas in programming, design, user interfaces, even in the way I can mitigate user stories or make iteration priorities ! Agile teams are targeting excellence. Code, design and functionalities are not here forever : they are reused, refactored, improved or changed. We want functionalities delighting our customers and be handled without questions. This sessions will help you make a step in this direction by illustrating what it means to build things easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly. We will see that successively with code, design structures, requirements, user interfaces and even agile practices ! You will be invited to juge the examples against Scott Meyer's principle and sometime to improve them and make them better.

Prerequisites

Basic understanding of programming and object-oriented design are welcome, because the session will start by exploring theses subjects.

Benefits for the attendees

Give and simple, practical tool each and every attendee can use right the next day to challenge the quality of their work and generate ideas to improve it !
