Code Literacy for Lean Teams

In real world agile teams, traditionally defined rigid roles are rapidly being displaced by a culture of collective ownership of the product. Responsibilities are being decoupled from specialties by a collection of operators with overlapping skills, and chief among them is technical acumen.

Every day, it makes less and less sense to talk about skill sets as collections of binary “I can do this”‘s or “I don’t do that”‘s. In this talk, we’ll investigate how treating Coding as Literacy can affect the way decisions are made and work gets done, describe what varying levels of literacy among teammates, facilitate doing agile well, and discuss how to get literate in technical topics.
