Talk Title: Software Best Practices: Tales of Adoption and Agility through Iteration and Innovation
Abstract: The Lab is pleased to announce that we will be hosting a talk by Steven Fraser, Director of the Cisco Research Center, on Tales of Adoption and Agility through Iteration and Innovation.
This talk will explore the intersection of agility and software development in a world of legacies and distributed teams. Organizations seek new and effective ways to expedite development while innovating to foster customer delight. This talk has evolved based on experience gleaned from multinational organizations developing and deploying large software systems - revealing in some cases - that what was once "old" is "new" again.
