Events Agile NCR 2010

Xebia and ASCI (Agile Software Community of India) are pleased to announce the fourth edition of Agile NCR 2010, which has become the biggest Agile event in North India. This year we have got overwhelming response on papers submitted by industry veterans, speakers from international fame and book writers.

AgileNCR 2010 will have the following themes:

Agile for newbies: This is for everyone who is partially aware or completely unaware about what everybody keep talking about... " They say something like pair programming or pear programming or something like that... Not sure what why and how..."

Agile Adoption Challenges: This track is for everyone who is right now aboard Agile bandwagon! The everyday nuance, challenges, pitfalls and solutions would be discussed in this theme.  Workshops and Craftsmanship: This theme talks about real, practical, hands-on things that you can immediately associate to everyday working in an Agile environment.  

Post Agile: Been there, done that... what next?? This theme is meant for people who feel they've had enough of Agile or who are happy being Agile but would like to look beyond. This theme focuses on other ways of software development like Kanban. The presentations on these themes are organized into 3 parallel Tracks.The agenda will be published soon.
