Coming Up at Agile 2008

Once again, Net Objectives is a co-sponsor of the Agile 2008 conference. This is a premier gathering for people and organizations involved in Agile software development. This year, it is being held in Toronto, Canada, August 4-8. Every year, we devote a podcast to what Net Objectives is doing at Agile 2008, both to help people who are going know what we are up to and to help people who cannot go know what trends we see that are important, where we will be devoting energy.

In this show, Alan Shalloway covers five primary topics:

• Why we are involved with the Agile conferences and why they are important for the industry
• The Certification by Net Objectives program, which was announced at Agile 2007, including: Scrum Master Certification, Scrum Team Member Certification, and Product Owner Certification 
• The announcement of the Implementing Agile Development using Microsoft Visual Studio process template, which has just been completed by Net Objectives
• An announcement of Scrum#, which is an extension of Scrum that helps to integrate Lean thinking, Scrum/Agile practices, and Emergent Design practices (patterns and test-driven development).
• The Talks that Net Objectives will be giving at Agile 2008
