The Agile Edge
What is new in agility? This session mines the agile world and presents the ideas, tools, sites, practices (and more) that are driving agility. This session goes beyond Extreme Programming or SCRUM and into the pragmatic incorporation of the new tools and practices available for anyone looking to embrace agility, adapt, and improve.
The session will start by talking about where agile has been, and what challenges it faces today. From there we will look at everything from project chartering and community mapping to the use of personas for creating requirements. Along the way, you will hear what is working at different types on companies as well as having time to ask about what may or may not be working for your company.
