Introductory Workshop on Agile will be hosted by Agile Chandigarh, under the aegis of Agile Software Community of India and Net Solutions on the 17th May 2008.

Agile is among the most discussed topic in the software development community these days. The traditional ways of developing software are far removed from the way businesses operate. Industry and technology move too fast, requirements change every day, competition does new things all the time, it is age of perpetual beta’s and customer’s customers can’t wait to get hands on the software. In addition, the customers are increasingly demanding unpredictable and new product features. In addition to this, India is now experiencing the third wave of outsourcing - where innovation and value delivery is the key. As a result, several industry practitioners have come up with a set of values, practices and methods broadly classified as Agile. Some of the most popular Agile frameworks are Scrum, XP and Crystal Clear. However, the rise of Agile, has also given rise to many misconceptions and wrong interpretation of Agile values and practices. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce Agile concepts from noted Industry Thought Leaders.
