Agile 2006 Roundup
Projects@Work (August 3, 2006)

Focused on delivering business value early in the project lifecycle through timely communication and response to requirements, agile development is one of the fastest growing trends in technology. More than 1,100 people attended Agile 2006 last month to learn the latest in agile techniques. Here are some show highlights.

Agile 2006 wrapped up in Minneapolis last week. The weeklong international conference, run by The Agile Alliance, focused on techniques and technologies, attitudes and policies, research and experience, and the management and development sides of agile software development.
