October Dinner Meeting – The Promise of Agile Development
Agile methods like Scrum, XP and Kanban have moved into the mainstream in both the private and public sectors. Successful practitioners have cut development lead times, improved product quality and reduced engineering cost. As the agile movement enters its second decade, how can we apply fundamental agile tenets to deliver further organizational improvement? The true promise of agile lies in helping drive improvement in 3 areas: individual success via personal mastery and flow, team improvement via engineering discipline, and organizational maturity via lean process improvement.
