Agile methods like Scrum, eXtreme Programming (XP) and Kanban have moved into the mainstream in both the private and public sectors. Successful practitioners have cut development lead times, improved product quality and reduced engineering cost. Industry leaders like BMC Software, Capital One, DTE Energy, Nationwide Insurance and Google have discovered that, implemented appropriately, agile accelerates project delivery times, increases customer and employee satisfaction, and provides flexibility to changes in business requirements. Sanjiv will introduce Agile methods in this session, present the compelling rationale for adopting Agile, and cover the basics of agile adoption.
