Date: Tuesday, 24 November 2026 Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Venue: CodeBase Edinburgh, 37a Castle Terrace, Edinburgh EH1 2EL
TechTalks #11 keeps the single-talk format and turns to the way we work. Delivering every couple of weeks was radical when the Agile Manifesto was written — now AI ships working features in hours, so do established processes and ceremonies still earn their place? Tim Leslie, who runs AI enablement for 950 engineers at Skyscanner, takes the question on. Register on Meetup →
Talks
When AI Changes the Pace of Delivery, What Happens to Agile?
Tim Leslie When the Agile Manifesto was written, delivering software every couple of weeks was a truly radical idea. With AI, working features now ship in days or even hours, so does a refinement meeting once a fortnight still make sense? Tim will look at what our ways of working should be in a world dominated by agents and, increasingly, software factories.
