Presentation: "Agile Software Development in Practice"

Track:   Agile Software Development

Time: Monday 11:00 - 12:00

Location: Nortvegia

Abstract: Although XP exists meanwhile for about 10 years, agile processes are still trendy. This is one of the reasons why everybody is trying to sell everything as agile. A glimpse at the agile manifesto hardly helps to characterize an agile process. Especially, because it is so difficult to not agree with the manifesto. However, even more problematic is, that there exist no formal, explicit and hard criteria that define an agile process. This makes it easy to sell every kind of process as an agile one.

This talk illuminates:

  • how to unmask a process with an agile cloak as a non-agile process
  • what marks an agile team
  • what really helps in practice
  • how to build and preserve the agile value system
