Adoption of Agile is growing at a solid speed within many organizations – but the march from workgroup to enterprise is thorny. This is especially the case as teams are dispersed globally and as processes become inclusive of build, test and application release.

Complicating matters further, it’s quite common to find a plethora of methodologies deployed in an enterprise at any time, from agile to hybrid and even waterfall.

Unless scale is managed well, your agile efforts can become victims of their own successes. Come to this one-hour webinar to learn how to handle the scaling of your agile development projects.

Complicating matters further, it’s quite common to find a plethora of methodologies deployed in an enterprise at any time, from agile to hybrid and even waterfall. Unless scale is managed well, your agile efforts can become victims of their own successes.
