What is this thing everyone calls Agile? If you have been doing software development a different way your whole career you may be wondering why should I change, and what’s so different. In this introductory talk, we will define why Agile is more than a process or methodology; it’s really a different approach to doing software development. To provide some additional context we’ll also:
- Look back at how the Agile methods and practices emerged
- Discuss the Agile Manifesto and 12 Principles and their resulting impact on the way that we do software development today
- Describe what it’s like to work on an Agile Project
- Describe what you can do next Monday to get started
