Agile Development has emerged as a serious alternative to the traditional "waterfall" software development lifecycle. After years as a programmer-driven initiative, many companies are now tackling Agile head on. The challenge is how to integrate this new lifecycle into your existing project management and development management methodologies.

Come hear from industry expert John Scumniotales, co-developer of the SCRUM Agile methodology, as he discusses how to manage projects and teams using Agile. John will provide insight and practical tips on:

  • How to introduce Agile to your traditional SDLC projects
  • How to organize and manage Agile projects with minimal impact on developers
  • How to rollup Agile and Waterfall projects into a single enterprise view
  • How to implement enterprise-strength processes to a methodology that is, by design, process-adverse
  • A "behind the scenes" real-world case of how one company is moving from Waterfall to Agile
