Abstract - Keynote

On Beyond Agile: The New Face Of Software Engineering

Going beyond "just" agile, Dr. Alistair Cockburn, one of the founders of the Agile Software Development movement, lays out three foundations for effective software development in the next century: Craft, Cooperative games, and Lean processes. These three not only explain the success of effective teams, they provide good advice to busy project teams, and they create a sound basis for educating our next generations of developers.
