Agile development methodologies are emerging as a powerful solution to this challenge, and they're gaining converts at technology companies ranging from traditional enterprise software vendors to consumer-oriented web companies.
This seminar will explain what Agile development is and why is it well-suited to today's complex software development environments and ever-changing markets.
