Software Engineering Institute

If you’ve heard consultants talking about the virtues of agile software development, you’ve probably heard their complaints about the “heavyweight” processes that have dominated the industry and all the excess documentation they require. What you don’t often hear is that it’s not really the amount of documentation that weighs you down, but rather the long wait for feedback about what you’re building that’s the source of the problem. In this presentation, you will learn about the sound principles and engineering-minded tradeoffs that occur when agile methods are applied successfully.
