The Agile movement is driving software development executives to rethink how they build their products. Companies are developing, managing and supporting software products to keep pace with faster markets, while improving quality and customer satisfaction.
Changing software development processes has become mission critical for many organizations since:- 60% of features in software development projects are unused
- 35% of initial requirements change before the completion of a project
- 55% of projects miss the initial schedule
Join us for this one-day event at the IBM Innovation Center and learn how agile techniques are being used to bring software products to market faster with shorter release cycles, supporting innovative pricing and licensing models, and truly connecting with customer needs. The result is higher revenue and profitability, better products, and greater customer loyalty.
The agenda will include detailed presentations, interactive exercises and open discussion about:- Agile development approaches including distributed agile methods, the history of agile, and the agile manifesto
- A detailed walkthrough of Scrum, one agile approach
- The organizational changes required for successful agile adoption: executive commitment, cross-functional teams, and coaching
- Hear first-hand from an agile practitioner and one of your peers about how to bring about agile adoption and improved results.
- Roadmaps, releases, iterations and the iron triangle
- Business drivers, business value and customer collaboration approaches
- How to evaluate technologies when adopting agile
