Talk on Agile Software Development

The following talk will take place next Wednesday, April 9th at 6:30 PM in the CSEL. If you are interested in Agile development techniques and FREE PIZZA, then I encourage you to attend!

Intro to Agile Development: Principles and Beyond

Agile software development is about finding better ways to deliver software than the way we’ve always done it. It’s based on a simple set of principles—things that we believe are true about software development. In this talk, Richard Lawrence will introduce the core agile principles and show how they’re applied in Scrum, Extreme Programming, and Lean Software Development…and how you can apply them on your projects. There will be time for questions and discussion to dig into the areas that interest you most.
