The Benefits Of Agile?

Part 1:

This Session discusses the benefits you get from Agile, not the how of doing it. Agile is really about delivering business value incrementally, quickly and predictably. It should not be about development iterations. Starting with the “how” of Agile instead of the “why” of Agile often leaves many business stakeholders unclear with the need for Agile.

Part 2:

While not an in-depth study of any of the methods, the webinar will illustrate why one must look at several factors when deciding on your team-Agile approach.
