Come learn about Lean Startup principles and their correlation to Agile
development tomorrow, (Thursday) June 7th. Alline Watkins will be giving
her talk for Agile2012. The meeting will take place at 6:30pm at The
Linkery in North Park.
Just as Agile development drastically changed the waterfall-based
software world, Lean Startup concepts will drastically change Agile
development. Eric Ries and others have been teaching us how to deal with
uncertainty in the business world. It's about time Agilists took
advantage of these techniques and learn how to apply them in the whole
software development process. “User Driven Development” is Agile
development revised to incorporate the Lean Startup concepts.
This talk will include an introduction to the Lean Startup principles,
how they have a natural synergy with Agile, and how they can be used
together for maximum advantage.
