Albuquerque , USA

Abstract: As awareness of agile system principles begin to take hold, and promulgation of agile software techniques continues, systems teams, projects, and organizations are often faced with the question as to whether they should adapt agile systems practices into their programs and processes. In trying to answer that question, teams are faced with other questions that need to be answered as well. These include what is motivating the decision, where should agile principles be applied and how much agile is necessary. This talk will present work accomplished to date on applying the OODA process, coupled with some simple tools to help teams, projects, and organizations answer those questions.
