As you all would be aware XP India 2017 ,the 3rd #XPIndia Conference would be on 17 & 18.Nov at Bangalore. If you’re still not blocked your calendar, probably you would want to do it right way , so that you won’t miss it.

People who are new to XP, below is a brief ,

The 3rd International XP Conference on Agile Engineering practices for software product development, hosted by Volunteers and the community at large, gathers together on November 17th and 18th 2017 at Bangalore. Agile Engineering is a multi-disciplinary field that includes Developers, QA, UX Designers, and Infrastructure Engineers, Embedded & Hardware engineers, Computers Scientists, Cloud Specialists and more. Practitioners from all involved disciplines will come together at XP India 2017 to address new advances, new challenges, and new directions, to learn from world-class experts, and to practice our craft together.

This year we have James Shore flying down as a special invited speaker. You can find other invited speakers in XPIndia website. Along with speakers we are opening up our talk / workshop submission system. This year we will be having 5 tracks of which the details are given below.

The 5 Conference Tracks

1 Core Technical Practices

Topics such as test-driven development, refactoring and infrastructure as code. These are the good software engineering practices that developers use every day to build robust, quality software. For those newer to the Agile Engineering and those wanting to refresh or expand their core skills.

2 Team Technical Practices

Topics such as continuous integration, collective code ownership, pair programming, Lean UX, behaviour driven development (BDD), continuous delivery and automated deployment to cloud infrastructures.These practices that support teams in building great software. Interdisciplinary practices that increase flow, communication quality, or the effectiveness of teams would be in focus for this track.

3 Technical Practices at the Organizational Level

Topics such as A/B testing and experimentation, data analytics, DevOps and repeatable deployments, system-wide monitoring, security and continuous deployment.The fact that technology, and the software behind it, is at the core of every business organization requires a new set of technical practices. This entire field is ripe for discussion, learning, and advancement as there are the most unknowns and challenges here
