So you've heard about Agile methods like XP and Scrum. Maybe you have read some
of the books. But do you really understand how an agile team works? What are
the key roles on a team? How is work organized by a "self-organized" team? How
can you validate that what the team develops is really what the customer
wants--even if they change priorities every iteration? In this presentation,
you will experience how an agile team achieves it's goals and produces value
for the customer each and every iteration using agile project management
techniques.
