How can a tester cope with a fast paced incremental, agile, delivery cycle
Testers thrown into an agile project often wonder how they can keep up with the fast paced incremental delivery cycle inherent in agile projects. As long as testers treat an agile process as a series of small waterfalls, they are likely fail. This presentation shows how to properly integrate the test process into an agile development process.

Driving an agile peg in a CMMI hole
Many agile development teams are forced to operate within an organization that has many policies and procedures that are derived from a CMMI , process heavy, mindset. This presentation focuses on how an agile team can survive in this context.
The attendee will learn:
Workflows are not Phases
Everyone knows that to build software involves analysis, design, implementation, and testing. For years we called these the phases in the software development lifecycle. With the introduction of modern iterative/incremental software processes we have come to realize that there are no longer phases, but rather workflows. Phases now have titles such as inception, elaboration, construction, transition; or increment 1, increment 2, increment 3. The presentation will examine the difference between a phase and a workflow from the perspective of a modern iterative/incremental software engineering process.
