The Agile Enterprise and Independent Software Vendors

http://www.scottishdevelopers.com/modules/extcal/event.php?event=45

Technologist and speaker, Gary Short roles up and unroles his list of
comparisions between strengths and weaknesses of the 'Agile' Development
in the Enterprise and the ISVs. This session was very well received at
DDD5.

Agile is all the rage at the moment, everyone wants in on the act; but
agile software engineering is not the same across the enterprise and
ISVs. In this talk we'll look at some of the different ways in which
agile software engineering principles are applied in the enterprise and
in ISVs; where it's easy, where it's hard, and how to make it just that
little bit less painful for everyone.

Gary Short is a Microsoft Certified Applications Developer, currently
employed in the role of Senior Software Developer at Charteris. He has
17 years industry experience in both desktop and web-enabled application
development. Previously, he has worked for a number of blue-chip
companies including Amex, IMS Health and Scottish & Southern Energy. His
current interests include SCRUM and TDD.
