Are you intrigued by some of the promises and hype of agile development practices and want to know what it takes to make agile really work? Do you need to learn what agile is all about?

In this full-day bonus session—free to all conference participants—Jeff Payne walks you through the basics of agile development philosophies and common agile practices. By focusing on the fundamentals of an agile process—from project management to software development and testing—Jeff explores how you can integrate agile into your organization. He discusses all the key roles and activities in agile projects along with practical tips and techniques that can make your agile project work. During the day-long case study, you'll have the opportunity to try out the techniques you are learning and begin to apply them to your situation.
