The world of software development is undergoing an amazing revolution. Many experienced practitioners are opening their eyes to the fact that traditional development methods with their heavy weight, slow pace, and high failure rates just don't work. They never have.

Join us for an exciting entry into the world of agile development. During this introductory seminar, you will learn:

• The principles on which agile methods are founded
• How to apply the agile mindset to your situation
• Six key development disciplines
• Six management practices
• How agile methods avoid the drawbacks of waterfalls
• How to introduce agile methods into your organization
• The major agile methods: eXtreme Programming, SCRUM, and Crystal

When you understand and implement the principles and practices of agile methods, you can begin to produce higher quality code in less time, with less risk. Your projects will sail from release to release, with each release actually getting easier, instead of harder. This seminar will change the way you think about software development forever.
