The September Agile Austin Workshop will cover the topic of management of agile development.  Please join us as Earl Everett presents "Building an Agile Manager's Toolkit".

 

Managing software development and its associated organizations is hard. Agile methodologies definitely can help, but given self-organizing teams, is agile management an oxymoron?  What, if anything, does an organization beginning or practicing agile need from its managers?

 

Every manager brings a set of 'tools' to their job.  Are different tools (or even an entire new toolkit) needed to manage Agile?

 

If you've ever wondered about questions like these, this workshop is for you.  It will be of interest to the following groups:

 

* Managers of Software Development and Test

* Software Project Managers

* Anyone who works for or with the above

* Anyone who has those above working for them

* Anyone with curiosity about agile software management
