Let's Learn Together!

"Where can I find well written User Stories? Is there a valid example of emergent design I can learn from? Is there a real project where I can see how combinations of design patterns have been applied? Why can't I find a shared definition of Iterative, Incremental and Adaptive on the Internet?"

TDD, Emergent Design, Design Patterns, Use Case modeling, User Story writing and splitting... The Internet is full of useful resources from which we can learn if we know where to look for them.

In these live online events, Francesco Cirillo will answer your questions about product management and software development by analysing together with the participants articles, videos and code repositories he chooses on the Internet.

Each topic may require one or more sessions to be analysed. Topics will be chosen from the most frequently asked questions received.

About this Series of Events

What is a "Let's Learn Together"?

  • Let's Learn Together is a series of 1,5-hour live online events where Francesco Cirillo selects a number of resources from the internet (videos, articles, codebases etc) and analyses and comments on them together with the participants.
  • Every event will focus on a particular topic of product management and software development: user stories, design patterns, software development process, TDD, etc.
  • Observations and comments will be recorded in a Google Document shared with the participants.

Francesco Cirillo

Francesco Cirillo has worked at the forefront of the software industry for more than 30 years. In a career spanning startups, corporations and freelance consulting, he has mentored thousands of professionals, developers, managers and software teams.

In the 1990s he worked as a Senior Consultant and Mentor for Sun Microsystem, expert in Software Architectures and Software Development Processes and Java and Object-Oriented Evangelist.

Francesco is one of the pioneers of Agile Methods. He started working on XP and TDD in 1999. He was chosen by Kent Beck to develop the XP community in Europe and as reviewer of the second edition of the book Extreme Programming Explained.

Since 2008 Francesco stopped actively working on Agile Methods and started to develop RRP, a new method of software development. In 2013 he created Cirillo Consulting based in Berlin to offer professional training and consulting on productivity and software development.

Francesco invented the Pomodoro® Technique, a renowned time-management method used by millions of people all over the world, while being a university student looking for a way to get more done in less time.
