Agile Processes and Continuous Integration

While the basic premises of Agile development are straightforward and based on common sense approaches to project management, often fine tuning the details can provide even greater product quality, time-to-market, requirements gathering, and ultimately profitability. It is important at this stage for Agile teams to consult with each other on best practices, and for the team to try out new concepts in the spirit of achieving excellence.

The Agile Resource Center provides insightful information and educational material to optimize and fine-tune Agile development processes. This includes Webinars and White Papers developed by some of the most experienced Agile experts in the industry, as well as recommended links to blogs, websites, and books for advanced Agile development teams.
