Agile Development: A Manager's Roadmap for Success
VersionOne is recognized by Agile practitioners as the leader in Agile project management tools. Companies such as Adobe, BBC, CNN, Dow, HP, IBM, Sony and 3M have turned to VersionOne to help deliver greater value to their customers.
There is also a very good series on VersionOne's "Agile Chronicles Blog" by Mike Cottmeyer. All the posts in the series are prefixed with "Refactor your PMP".

Maybe it gets better after this. The end point for me was when Stacia fobbed off a question about how scrum deals with thrashing.
Hey, how does waterfall deal with thrashing?
Very good title, but deceiving content. Skip this presentation and go to one of Jeff Sutherland's presentations, such as www.infoq.com/presentations/Agile-Management-Go...
Change control boards! (see Jeff Sutherland's Google presentation which was excellent).
Sorry that the folks posting here have found this presentation to be full of drivel and deceiving. It certainly was not intended to be. I never intentionally "fob off" questions; I care about the perception of the work I do and take these kinds of comments to heart. I will watch this presentation to see where I can improve. If you'd like to email me off line with helpful comments, I am always open to that in the spirit of inspecting and adapting. stacia@agileevolution.com.
Where does your experience about agile come from sina you are so young.
if I cannot touch so many projects and how can I prove my agile ability?
hi, I like your presentations and your voice
I think, she clarifies what the agile development is.
Thank you Stacia
I think the guys criticizing missed the point since the title is clear, it's an Introduction to Agile for Traditional Project Managers. So if you're not a traditional guy and/or you're already acquainted with agile, you might think it's superficial. I think it's good in what it's intended to be, a way to link traditional concepts to agile. Jeff Sutherland's Google presentation is also good and I think both are worth watching.
I had an email exchange with Stephen Cresswell over the weekend who gave me some very helpful feedback on the presentation. I agree that the preamble is a bit long; I promise a better one when I co-present this with Michele Sliger at Agile 08 next month. More importantly, I answered a question and went on a tangent, and it became a bit flubbed. I want to clear the record here so that newbies to agile aren't misguided. I said that "... moving too fast or not fast enough is the ownership of the business or the customer." This is not true. The product owner/customer owns the "What" and the "Why" of the requirements; the speed of delivery is completely up to the team and can be affected by an assortment of constraints and variables. The team and the product owner should work together to find ways to collaborate the best approach under the given circumstances, but at the end of the day, the team should choose a pace that is sustainable, iteration after iteration - a pace that results in high quality software increments. I hope this clarifies and dissuades any potential confusion. That's the thing about videos: they're permanent. :) And to ma mz: I'm not as young as you think I look.
I'll vouch for the age-defying effects of Agile!
There's something to be said for an approach that reduces stress and increases the pleasure of a job well done :-)

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?
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?
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.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
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.
