2 Days

Overview

Traditional development methods are accomplished with a division of roles, clear responsibilities, and periodic interaction. Agile team environments can initially be uncomfortable and unsatisfying. Working together is a critical requirement for success in an agile environment. Agile presents a unique set of opportunities but there is no escaping the fact it is fundamentally based on collaboration and self-organization, new and scary concepts to many IT organizations. So how do you take your team to an agile level of performance despite the many challenges associated with completely changing the environment and styles associated with traditional development methodologies?
