Presentation description
It is difficult to work in the software engineering field these days and not hear about Agile software development methodologies. More and more companies are recognizing the value of implementing Agile principles and moving away from the more traditional “heavyweight” waterfall models. This presentation will introduce Agile principles, terminology, process flows, roles, activities, and artifacts. In addition, I will share my personal experiences using both methodologies.
We will have pasta for 50 people. ACM members and officers get priority.
