Valtech and VersionOne Present the Agile Edge Conference Series With David Anderson
Conference on Agile and Lean Disciplines With Industry Expert and Author
Valtech North America (www.valtech.us), a
renowned international software transformation provider of OnDemand(TM)
solutions and Agile and Lean coaching and training, today announced that it
is partnering with VersionOne (www.versionone.com), recognized by Agile
practitioners as the leader in tools, to host "The Agile Edge" conference
in the Washington, D.C. area. The conference will be held on May 22nd from
8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton McLean-Tyson's Corner. The cost per
registrant is $149.
The conference, one of a series the two companies are hosting, provides
in-depth exposure to agile methods, metrics and project success factors.
The conference has tracks specially developed for product owners,
developers and project managers and will provide hands on exercises and
draw from successful commercial projects.
"We've created an educational environment that explores how companies can
transform their organizations through a radically different approach to
software -- not just in developing it, but in determining what it is
intended to do, its value to the organization, and the deployment and
training required to make it successful," Brad Murphy, CEO of Valtech North
America, said.
"VersionOne has always been dedicated to promoting the value of Agile
development and supporting efforts to educate the growing Agile community,"
said Robert Holler, Chief Executive Officer of VersionOne. "Partnering with
Valtech to present The Agile Edge Conference Series is a great way for us
to share our industry expertise in Agile project management with
attendees." VersionOne is delivering three sessions in the Agile Management
track for project managers.
Participants will learn about measuring for accountability, the lifecycle
of a Scrum project, Agile adoption at the team and organizational level,
project planning and management, and the transformational power of Agile,
and much more.
David Anderson will provide the keynote address. He has assumed the role of
Chief Process Scientist for Valtech North America through his consultancy,
Modus Cooperandi (www.moduscooperandi.com), a strategic management
consultancy focused on delivering performance through collaboration, and
the deployment of Agile and Lean techniques. Anderson is an
internationally-recognized specialist in cultural change for
institutionalized, long-lasting implementation of Lean and Agile software
development teams. He is the author of Agile Management for Software
Engineering and the Agile Management blog. Anderson has helped leading
organizations such as Microsoft, Sprint, Motorola and Corbis adopt and
embrace Agile and Lean disciplines for notable measurable results. Anderson
is a co-founder and board member of the Agile Project Leadership Network.
