Sweet, you're agile! Now what?

Talk from DDD Brisbane 2015.

Lots of us work in agile teams. We have stand ups, backlogs, sprints, reviews, retrospectives, and with a bit of luck we ship. But being agile has worn thin for a few people.

For anyone who has lost sight of why we do the things we do - or anyone who's never been convinced by it to start with - we'll look at simple ways to spice things up and make it worth the effort.
