Why agile?
6 likes2,248 views
This was the presentation I did at Agile Tour Brussels (Sept-2013). In it, I highlight / discuss: 1. the evolutionary nature of Agile (the manifesto is awesome, but there's more to Agile than it as we continue to uncover better ways to deliver value) 2. the reasons why every organization and team should be learning about Agile and trying to find out what Agile looks like in their environment
