Wikipedia describes a software-development methodology as a framework that is used to structure, plan, and control the process of developing an information system. Examples include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid-application development, and extreme programming. There is also a lot of talk about Agile, which is more than a set of tools and processes for software development. Agile is a philosophy that can be adopted throughout your organization to improve productivity. Join us as we cut through the buzzwords to discuss key elements of a successful software-development process and methods for implementing sound development practices into your workflow. Beginning with the needs of the business and the stakeholders, we'll work our way from the planning stages roadmap to our first development and testing cycles to deploying code to production and repeating. Regardless of your team size or role within the organization, the goal of this session is to help guide you in implementing a leaner, more transparent and stable development process.
