Forrester's Dave West talks about Agile 2010 and summarizes the conference like this:
...Because of the sheer scope of the conference, there was no one theme, but if I were to pick three, they would be (1) UX design and Agile, (2) development operations (dev ops) and continuous delivery, and (3) technical debt....Agile 2010 could be described as the breakthrough event for dev ops professionals responsible for delivering what Agile teams produce. Emblematic of this trend is ThoughtWorks’ timely announcement of a new continuous delivery product called Go. Too many Agile teams complain that they can only be as flexible as their release organization. Addressed through a tool like Go, process changes, or both, integrating development with operations and release is crucial for long-term business agility...
