Agile Development Overview: What it is and how it works,
Ken Schwaber
Agile software development, as announced in the Agile Manifesto of February, 2001,
and as practiced through Scrum, Extreme Programming and other common sense approaches
over the last ten years, is getting a lot of attention as managers everywhere turn to
"quicker, cheaper, better." This talk will address the underlying theories and principles
of Agile development, the three management roles, the three phases of implementation, and
the three impediments to success. Anecdotes will be used throughout to stop the entire talk
from going dry.
