Although Agile has proven to provide incredible benefits in software development and delivery, it is not foolproof, nor a “Silver Bullet.” Plenty of factors need to be considered before attempting this highly disciplined approach.

Learn from the mistakes other organizations have made and discover which pitfalls to avoid to ensure that your first attempt at applying an Agile approach will be met with a successful outcome.

This hour-long web seminar will explore these areas and provide clear steps your team and organization should consider to provide a clear set of tools to maximize the opportunity for best results possible.
