What is Agile?

By now you’ve probably heard the terms “agile development” or “agile testing” floating around your organization or social media circles. It seems to be the “in” thing these days for software development, but what exactly is agile? What should I know about adopting an agile development approach in the real-world? This session will provide a brief overview of the following (no experience necessary):

• What agile is and isn’t.

• How agile might change my job.

• How agile might change my career.
