Atech & IBM Agile Development Webinar Series - 2010

If you are considering Agile development and Scrum techniques, yet:

  • Are finding the adoption of small, agile approaches for development difficult to implement in your organization.
  • Think the promise of agility is compromised in response to the need for prediction, planning and financial controls.
  • Are challenged to balance business constraints with enabling teams to deliver software faster and of higher quality.

If you identified with any of the above challenges, then Agile development from IBM may be the answer for you!

Join the 2010 Agile Development series of webinars from IBM and Ascendant Technology to:

  • Learn how to effectively combine agile development techniques with traditional software development lifecycle, the Rational Unified Process, and other software engineering techniques.
  • Explore the basic concepts behind agile thinking, how to implement agile in the context of both defined engineering practices and organizational Software Development Lifecycles, and what software can be used to help ensure success.

Continuous Integration - Bridging the Development Operations Gap
Software Production is a like a play with several acts - in order for the audience to fully appreciate and
understand the play, they need to have the transitions from one act to the next make sense. This session will explore how automation of repetitive tasks within the Development/Operations zone has obvious direct impacts with regard to labor cost.
