Agile 2008 will be an exciting international industry conference that presents the latest techniques, technologies, attitudes and first-hand experience, from both a management and development perspective, for successful Agile software development.
Agile 2008 puts attendees in contact with the latest thinking in the agile domain, enriching our collective body of knowledge, influencing the line of thought in the field, encouraging debate, and fostering innovative ideas.
It brings together executives, managers, software development practitioners and researchers from labs and academia. The conference is not about a single methodology or approach, but rather provides a forum for the exchange of information regarding all agile development technologies.
We are delighted to announce our full program is now published bringing together 400 sessions spanning the full agile spectrum.
