Many teams, projects and even organizations are following meanwhile an agile process. However, not always successfully. If you're looking behind the scenery, you will find out that although the agile practices like pair programming or test-driven development are used properly, the agile value system is not implemented. This is due to the fact that the practices can support agility but they can not establish agility. This leads to an expectation mismatch regarding acceptance and success of agile development.
With her experience in helping projects all over Europe to establish the agile value system, Jutta will point out what to look out for when applying agility.
Jutta Eckstein is an independent consultant and trainer for over ten years. She has a unique experience in applying agile processes within medium-sized to large mission-critical projects. This is also the topic of her book Agile Software Development in the Large. Besides engineering software she has been designing and teaching OT courses in industry. Having completed a course of teacher training and led many train-the-trainer programs in industry, she focuses also on techniques which help teach OT and is a main lead in the pedagogical patterns project. She has presented work in her main areas at ACCU (UK), OOPSLA (USA), OT (UK), XP (Italy and Germany) and XP and Agile Universe (USA).
