Introducing Agile
Summary
In large organizations, it’s simply not practical to just "flip a switch" and have your IT department start doing agile all at once. In these situations, agile pilot teams and non-agile teams/departments find themselves having to figure out how to work together during the transition.

Bio
Michele Sliger has worked in software development for over 20 years, and has been embracing change with agile methodologies for the last eight of those years. As a self-described "bridge builder," her passion lies in helping those in traditional software development environments cross the bridge to agility.

About the conference
The Agile Alliance organizes an annual international Agile conference, which brings together the key people in the Agile space to talk about techniques and technologies, attitudes and policies, research and experience, and the management and development sides of Agile software development.

    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?

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

    Agile Adoption - How to cross the Chasm?

    Jul 10, 2008 6:27 AM by Udayan Banerjee

    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 setandbma.wordpress.com/category/agile/

Brian Marick on 4 Challenges and 5 Guiding Values of Agile Software Development

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).

The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?

Agile – A Way of Life and Pragmatic Use of Authority

The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.

"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?

Using ITIL V3 as a Foundation for SOA Governance

Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.

SOA as an Architectural Pattern: Best Practices in Software Architecture

For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
