Fred George - Co-Founder of Outpace Systems, Programmer Anarchy

ABSTRACT
Programmer Anarchy is a post­Agile process that focuses on empowering programmers by eliminating roles that interfere with domain knowledge and assumption of day­to­day decisions by the programmers. Originally conceived in a startup environment at Forward Internet Group in London, Programmer Anarchy is now being implemented in a traditional IT shop for an established company: MailOnline, the online newspaper arm of the Daily Mail of London. This discussion will talk about the introduction of Anarchy into a Scrum shop, the training, the transition of roles, and the redesign of HR roles.
