2nd AgileMalta Conference DECEMBER 2008

Improving Software Production

Overview

Success in today’s software industry requires a process, an environment and people that are able to achieve business goals within tighter deadlines, without compromising quality or reducing employee moral. Your process needs to be able to be attractive to foreign investment, your employees need the skills to deliver and sustain the process.

Whether you are interested in Agile or seeing how you can improve your own development process, the AgileMalta Conference is a great opportunity for people at all levels to gather together to learn about and share experiences on Agile software development process.

In our first conference we provided talks and discussion sessions for people at all levels to come into contact and learn about Agile. In the upcoming conference we will build upon feedback from the 1st conference and from our website. We decided to provide you with talks on implementing Agile and dealing with common issues when using such a process.
