AccuRev CTO Damon Poole to Speak at
Agile Development Practices Conference in Orlando
Lexington, MA, November 10, 2008 – AccuRev Inc. announced today that its chief technology officer, Damon Poole, will present two sessions on Agile software development at the Agile Development Practices conference organized by Software Quality Engineering. The conference runs from November 10 – 14 at the Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida.
For those skeptical of Agile, Mr. Poole will facilitate his first session, “Calling All Agile Skeptics, the Curious, and Die-Hard non-Agile.” This open forum will provide non-Agilist attendees with an opportunity to raise objections, doubts or horror stories. Experienced Agilists will also be able to share both positives and negative experiences, as well as respond helpfully to skeptics’ questions. View the full listing here.
In his second session, “Introduction to Multi-stage Continuous Integration,” Mr. Poole will discuss the practice of multi-stage continuous integration and demonstrate how even large, geographically distributed teams can improve the orchestration of this Agile build management process. Attendees will learn an effective way to virtually eliminate downtime associated with mainline broken builds. View the full listing here.
