The Agile Mindset: Applying Agile in Non-Technical Areas of an Organization
Northern Virginia Software Symposium
Reston · April 27 - 29, 2012
About this Presentation
Agile techniques are often pigeon-holed as just applying to software projects and IT organizations. Agile techniques are a mindset more than a list of rules to follow and can bring efficiency and improvements to all areas of an organization.
This presentation will cover a case study of ThoughtWorks experience with a major bank and credit card company in the US and their application of Agile techniques. We will cover the process, outcomes and challenges of the Agile implementation.
