In an analogy to heavy metal music Karaivanov tells the audience you don't want to just play fast. "You should ask yourself: Should you play that fast?" For him a team can be seen like the instruments of a band. "You have to get to the same speed to be able to play a good melody. What matters is the whole."

What do heavy metal and agile have in common? Dimitar Karaivanov, CEO of Kanbanize, put this question in the introduction of his talk to teach the audience about agile methods and his approach.
Karaivanov starts off with a band quiz by showing pictures of metal bands and asking for the band names. It turns out the participants in room Downstream this morning are real metal fans.
