Jennitta Andrea, The Andrea Group, Inc.
Wondering what agile is all about? Skeptical that agile is the same old thing wrapped in new buzz words? Tried agile on a project with disappointing results? You need a solid foundation of what it really means to develop software using an agile approach. Regardless of the brand name, a successful agile project is easily recognized by it’s outcomes: delivering valuable, running, tested features on a regular basis. During this full day tutorial Jennitta Andrea explores each component of this definition in detail, looking at how specific practices and role collaboration work synergistically to achieve the goal. This foundation enables you to create a personal roadmap of agile topics to pursue during this conference and beyond and for introducing agile to your organization. More importantly, your foundation is rock-solid because you will understand how project context influences decisions about selecting and adapting an agile process.

Bob Payne, Electroglide
Agile teams deliver the goods, and now they are delivering the goods for good causes. Founded by Bob Payne, Agile Philanthropy seeks to harness the power of the agile community, using agile methods to build software and provide services for a charitable organization, a not-for-profit organization focusing on health, education, and economic development. This philanthropic effort is faced with the challenge of delivering software with part-time team members—who happen to be disbursed from California to New Zealand. Bob Payne describes how these challenges are being overcome using agile techniques coupled with lessons from the open source community including project chartering, remote product owners, distributed planning, agile engineering practices, automated acceptance testing, and communication. If you think it is time to do some good in the world, now is the time to join our project. Learn how you can participate in the LiveAid project, as a remote project member, or start up a local chapter of Agile Philanthropy.

Pollyanna Pixton, Accelinnova
Agile practices have helped development teams deliver software that meets business needs better and faster. However, business-side practices often lag behind, and many organizations cannot adapt to the rapidly changing marketplace and environments they face. Today, it’s not enough to respond to change—organizations must lead change or be left behind. How responsive is your organization to new ideas that will improve operations and develop breakthrough products and services? Beyond development how can you foster innovation and creativity to help increase productivity and profits?
Join Pollyanna Pixton in this interactive bonus session as we explore the agile practices that managers and leaders need to adopt. Bring your ideas on what leadership tools and styles are working, what isn’t working, and what we can do to increase business agility. Participants will work together to form an action plan to foster agile leadership throughout their organizations.

John McConda, Moser Consulting, Mike Kelly, Developer Town, and Karen N. Johnson, Independent Consultant
Join us at The Workshop on Regulated Software Testing (WREST) — a free full-day bonus session held on Friday after the conference concludes. A unique peer workshop, WREST is dedicated to improving the practice of testing regulated systems. We define regulated software as any system that is subject to an internal or external review.
WREST relies on its attendees to make the workshop a success. There are no formal presentations, only experience reports with plenty of time designated for facilitated discussion. We hope to learn from each other by hearing the success and (especially!) failure stories of real practitioners who test regulated software. Have a problem you want input on solving? You can bring that to the workshop as well - just be prepared to participate! WREST is organized by Karen Johnson and John McConda, and is facilitated by consultant and author Mike Kelly.
* Limited seats available. Reserve your seat by contacting the Client Support Group at 888.268.8770 or 904.278.0524 and sqeinfo@sqe.com
