Introduction to Lean-Agile Software Development
Friday - Mar 2 1:15 PM CST - Jefferson
Successful software development is about building the right product at the right time for your customers. This means focusing attention on the right places in the portfolio of projects and products that your company provides, and optimizing the entire value stream from “concept to cash” for your customers and the development teams.
Agility is more than just adopting Scrum or some other agile process framework; it involves adopting a new set of Lean-Agile values, principles and practices through the entire software development lifecycle and beyond in order to provide value to customers earlier and more often.
Lean-Agile software development consists of frequent feedback loops, intense team collaboration, continuous improvement, business and customer involvement, baking quality in and consistent delivery of valuable software. Learn how these Lean principles and practices transform software development and the radical difference it can make in your development work and wider organization.
