DESCRIPTION:THANK YOU to our sponsors: ProKarma and Agile Open Northwest!
 !\n\nFor any code base there comes a time when you want (or need) to cha
 nge it. If your changes are extensive\, it’s easy to get lost in a jun
 gle of dependencies or on a sea of broken code. Ultimately\, you might j
 ust give up and shove it away under the legacy label. Instead of doing t
 hat\, use &quot\;The Mikado Method\,&quot\; a systematic approach to rec
 laim your code. The method helps you visualize\, prepare\, and perform b
 usiness-value focused changes\, while delivering\, and without having a 
 broken code-base in the process. It enhances team communication\, collab
 oration and learning\, and helps individuals stay on track.\n\nhttp://mi
 kadomethod.wordpress.com/book/\n\nFor: Lead developers\, architects\, pr
 ogramming coaches\, or anyone who wants to get some serious hands-on pra
 ctice on how to work their way out of messy code while keeping the deliv
 ery frequency and business value focus. \n\nJoin Ola Ellnestam\, founder
