If AI lets teams ship working features in days or hours, does a fortnightly refinement meeting still make sense? That's the question for TechTalks #11.
Tim Leslie, Engineering Manager and AI Learning Lead at Skyscanner, gives the main talk. He leads AI learning for Skyscanner's 950 engineers and has 12 years running teams of up to 40. He'll look at how ways of working should change when agents and software factories do more of the building. Doors, pizza and drinks at 18:00, opening talk 18:30, main talk 18:40, Q&A 19:30, then networking and a pub afterparty from 20:00. Free, at CodeBase.
you get the view from someone rolling AI out across a large engineering org, not a vendor. Good for engineering managers, delivery leads and engineers rethinking how their team plans work.
