Why Agile Works...and How to Screw it Up!

This fast moving discussion contains a bit of theory, some interesting statistics, and a few activities. We'll talk a little theory, then we'll "connect the dots" from Scrum the framework back to the theory. All of this will give you a REAL understanding of why Agile works. You'll leave the session wondering "Wow, how could we develop software in any other way!!??", and your reasons for "doing Agile" (and "being" Agile) will be much better than "Uhhhh....because everybody else is doing it?"  If you’re not well-versed in Agile or Scrum, don’t worry, there is just enough background so everyone can keep up.  After we understand why it works, we'll touch on just a few of the ways to mess things up.
