For organizations facing compliance and regulatory requirements, the conventional wisdom is that if they choose an enterprise ALM solution, they will sacrifice developer productivity.  NOT true.  Lightweight and developer friendly capabilities, e.g. Agile development practices, can co-exist with process enforcement, compliance support and end-to-end traceability.

We will show you how to apply stream-based parallel development, typical in Agile development, in enterprise IT development environment.   Multi-stream development is lightweight and flexible enough to accommodate various project structures.  It also minimizes code conflicts for integration builds. If you are adopting or are already doing Agile, you can't miss this session.
