About the Workshops
Agile development promises a more reactive and responsible approach to development. But
what does this mean in practice for managers and other non-developer roles or developers?
There are many misconceptions about what agile development entails for project management,
ranging from no management to extreme management and also for day-to-day programming,
ranging from a lack of discipline to a straitjacketed and rule-driven regime.
These issues will be tackled in the two separate workshop days:
WS1: Agile Development in Practice for Managers
The goal of the Agile Development in Practice for Managers workshop is to present a sample
of many of the process ideas that agile development encompasses (including XP, Scrum and
Lean Development), and also many of the practices individuals, teams and companies find
beneficial, addressing questions of decision making, development activities, planning and
requirements.
WS2: Agile Development in Practice for Developers
The goal of the Agile Development in Practice for Developers workshop is to present a
sample of many of the practical ideas that agile development encompasses (including XP,
Scrum and Lean Development), and also many of the practices individuals, teams and
companies find beneficial, addressing questions of decision making, testing, coding style,
incremental design and refactoring.
The workshop language is English
