25.11.2011 – Case study – Agile/Scrum implementation at FITS

One of the key objectives of our Agile community of practice is to share experiences and learn from one another. In this respect and according to the wishes expressed during the retrospective we had two meetups ago, we open a series of case studies with a description of how Agile/Scrum is implemented at FITS.

Friday, 25.11.2011, 18:30, FITS - Str. Sf. Lazar Nr. 27, Et. II 217

29.09.2011 – Real Life Agile Engagements – Discussion

Hi All!

I'd like to share some of our experience in working with a set of customers that are some of the largest financial institutions in the world. The interesting fact is that many of them demand agile development, are very aware of agile, have hired agile coaches and are moving towards agile on an enterprise scale (workforces of sometimes thousands of people).

I can give you a little history of how agile came into the picture for these companies, what are the advantages they see in agile and how a complex agile engagement in a complex environment works and the various ways in which Endava teams have dealt with it and the lessons we've learned.

When and where: Thursday, 29.09.2011, 18:30, Endava Iasi Strada Palat 3E, Palas, United Business Center, Etaj 5, Iasi

Thanks,

Andrei Postolache

Delivery Unit Manager, Endava Iasi
