In The Brain of Allan Kelly: The What and Why of Agile
The What and Why of Agile
Agile has broken out from the code face, CEOs talk of Agile Business, Business Analysts are signing up on mass for Agile classes and it even got talked about on The Today programme. However after over a decade of Agile software development there are still plenty of individuals and teams out there who are still trying to understand what it is and why, even if, it might be for them.

In this talk Allan Kelly sets out to answer the questions "What is Agile?", "Why is Agile beneficial?" and "How might a team start to adopt Agile?"

Armed with the answers to these questions Allan will to show why large organizations such as the BBC, Financial Times, HSBC and British Airways are using it, and why the UK Government IT strategy advocates Agile.
