In this talk, Dr. Alistair Cockburn, one of the authors of the agile manifesto, will review why those verbs were selected as the "heart" of agile, how they expand out into interesting topics not in the mainstream discussion of agile, and how they are being used in different fields to increase the impact of efforts.
