31: Natural Software Development using #NoEstimates and Variable Length Sprints

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Ron Quartel, Amitai Schlair Discussion Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley), Ron Quartel (@agileagitator) and Amitai Schlair (@schmonz) got together to discuss a real live #NoEstimates project, variable length sprints, the power of the sprint goal, and true software craftsmanship.
