In 2009, agile is no longer about the small teams that it began with, its now about some of the biggest companies in the world applying agile like never before. The maturing of agile as a whole, while keeping its original spirit, was one of the big topics at the Agile 2009 conference in Chicago this year. We saw an entire new generation of agile tools from the vendors, heard all about the cutting edge ideas in agile, and found out how agile is being adopted on an enterprise level. Even at a time when the economy is down, the conference keeps growing. So watch this video to hear what you missed or re-live the action from this year! TRT: 9:10 [More] [Less]
