Presentation: "Introduction: Agility on the Edge"
Time:
Monday 10:30 - 10:45
Location:
Conference Hall 2
Abstract: Applying agile methods in a defined environment can sometimes already be challenging. But this is even more so when trying to follow an agile approach in a project that is out of character.
This year we want share experiences from people who have applied agility when developing for example a life-critical system, an embedded or a data warehousing application. Dealing with challenges like these requires thorough adaptation of the process, which is the focal point of retrospectives.

Presentation: "Global - Yet Agile - Software Development"
Time:
Monday 16:00 - 17:00
Location:
Conference Hall 2
Abstract:
On the one hand there are meanwhile not many projects left that are made at home without outsourcing, of -or nearshoring. Thus, global software development seems to be a fact in state-of-the-art software development. On the other hand more and more projects discover the success factor of agile software development not only since the Standish Group is recommending this approach.
Although agile software development requests - among other things - an emphasis on face-to-face communication, several projects have tried meanwhile to combine global with agile software development.
In this session Jutta wants to provide an opportunity to share experiences in following an agile approach in a global development environment: What are the possibilities to overcome the challenges global software development provides, and what are the success factors for implementing an agile software development process within such constraints?
In this talk, Jutta will report from her experiences in bringing these two trends together and which practices help and which hinder the success of a project. Her own experiences are mainly based on large global agile projects in embedded and commercial software development.
