Are you considering implementing agile project management and/or software development practices -- but struggling with how to enable them in your organization?
Attend Jim Highsmith's and Joshua Kerievsky's half-day Agile Enablement workshop, and develop a plan for implementing agile practices in your organization. Using the assessment questionnaire responses each participant provides a few weeks prior to the workshop as a guide, Jim and Joshua will walk you through developing an agile enablement plan designed for specifically for your organization. They will help you identify which agile practices - such as iterative product development, test-first design, project chartering sessions, pair programming, team collocation, onsite customers, sustainable work schedules, and others - will bring the greatest return-on-investment to your organization. They will also help you understand transition issues and getting buy-in from management and staff alike. Jim and Joshua will also discuss a range of enablement issues gleaned from a cross section of enablement engagements.
The goal: to enable you to implement agile software development and project management methods quickly and effectively, shorten your product development schedule, and increase the quality of the resultant product.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn about enabling agile practices from true pioneers in the field.
