Presentation: Deploying Your Agile Toolbox Gradually, with Examples

It’s not ‘all or nothing’. The reality is that you can start introducing the agile practices into your current projects gradually, without breaking any existing processes. Over time, you bring in the Agile mindset. They never see it coming. You can take an incremental approach.

During this presentation, we are covering the basics of the Agile Projects and Lean development as well as the corresponding tools that will help you with Test Driven Development, Continuous Integration, Unit Testing, Mocking, IOC (Inversion-of-Control), Dependency Injection and more. We’re are setting up an Agile software project and will taking it step-by-step to its first release while proving that all of the above is not as hard and intimidating as it sounds.
