Thanks!... But unfortunately presentation stops in approximately 14 minutes and 22 seconds.

The presentation "Agile in the Waterfall Enterprise" by Michele Sliger is not working for me. It stops when it gets to 33 minutes and a half. Is there a problem with the presentation?

Hi Daniel, Vitaliy
i've just tested the presentation in both Firefox and IE and it works fine, without interruptions. there might be a connection problem at your end?

Great presentation. I liked the emphasis on the values behind agile as opposed to the lingo and practices themselves. Thank you.

In my opinion there are following management challanges for agile adoption: 1. Funding: How is project sanctioned? 2. Interaction: Do stakeholders trust each other? 3. Defect: What is a defect? 4. Success: How is it measured? See this post http://setandbma.wordpress.com/category/agile/
