What:

Boulder-based Rally Software Development will host a free 2-hour seminar that outlines real-world best practices for transitioning software teams' project management, development and testing practices to Agile - a mega trend in the software industry. Using Agile techniques, software organizations gain a significant competitive advantage through improved productivity and responsiveness by reliably delivering software using small, rapid iterations.. Traditionally, software has been developed through outdated "waterfall" processes that can take a year or more to deliver to the market.

Rally's Agile Roadshow seminar is presented by recognized software industry executives and Agile coaches. Perfect for software development managers, development leads, testers, project managers, product managers and business analysts, the seminar will give organizations an overview of what is needed to successfully adopt Agile practices. Agile experts Ryan Martens, Dean Leffingwell and other members of Rally's coaching staff offer decades of software development experience, with a strong emphasis on improving team efficiency and productivity.

Martens is an expert in assisting organizations transition from traditional development processes to more Agile techniques. He helped co-found Avitek, a custom Java firm that was acquired by BEA Systems, where he went on to serve as Director of Product Management before founding Rally. Leffingwell is recognized globally for his work while a Senior VP at Rational Software and as the lead author of Managing Software Requirements: A Use Case Approach, Second Edition., Addison Wesley, 2003.
