This session shows you how we do Kick-@$$ software development at Atlassian and actually get stuff done. Feedback cycles are short, code quality is awesome and customers get the features they lust after. Hear how we: use pull-requests for better code quality; collaborate fast to develop ideas; avoid meetings; tighten feedback loops to fail fast; shorten release cycles and work together happily on different continents. Sound like paradise? It is!
