Watering Agile for Executive Communication

The battle between Agile Software Developers and Waterfall Executives has been exaggerated by evangelists on both sides of the argument. This session will examine how Agile Software Development can meld with age old project methodologies to increase Executive Communication and Stakeholder Awareness. Attendees will be provided with the gaps between the two methodologies and learn how pieces of each can be utilized to increase the efficiency of a team or program. Attendees will also learn how current tools like Project Server and TFS can integrate to allow Team Leads and Scrum Masters to present their progress to Waterfall Executives. The audience will walk away from this session with a good understanding of how Waterfall and Agile differ and how Team Leads and Scrum Masters can adjust to meet the needs of a Waterfall Executive.
