 Agile Foundations

Host: Deborah Hartmann

What makes Agility work?

Agile software development is state-of-the-art - numerous teams world-wide are using XP, Scrum, Crystal, and other known or custom-made Agile methodologies - but not every project is an unqualified winner.

What would enhance the chance of success? How do we even measure success? In this conference track we'll concentrate on fundamental factors that make agility work, for both developers and their client organizations, including feedback mechanisms to evaluate agile implementation progress, and practices that can help stabilize teams and projects.

Take advantage of this opportunity: industry veterans will share lessons learned from a decade of practice, and answer your own project-specific questions.
