[Tuomas MŠäkilŠä]

Opiskelijajärjestöjen yhdessä tietotekniikan oppiaineen kanssa
järjestämä Turku Agile Day '010 -tapahtuma lähestyy. Kannattaa hyödyntää
konferenssipäivän 18.3. opiskelijahinta 5 euroa ja tulla kuuntelemaan
ketterän kehityksen huippunimiä.

Tutoriaalipäivään 17.3. ei opiskelijalipulla valitettavasti pääse, mutta
työssäkäyville tutoriaalit tarjoavat oivan tilaisuuden sparrata omaa
kehitysmenetelmäosaamista.

something for both agile experts and agile newcomers. The conference
also provides an excellent networking opportunity by means of a
conference dinner.

Feedback from Turku Agile Day '09 (www.turkuagileday.fi/past/2009)
suggested that we should provide more hands-on sessions for the
participants. Having this valuable feedback, we decided to answer to the
queries. On Wednesday we will provide hands-on workshops 'for everyone'
- from development practices (continuous integration, test-driven
development) to testing practices (exploratory testing). If you wonder
how to guide your development to get the story done,
Acceptance-Test-Driven Development workshop is meant for you. For those
interested in Lean SW development and prioritizing backlog items, the
'Gaming track' (Lean Manufacturing Game, Business Value Game) should
provide the most value.

AGILE SW IN A NUTSHELL
Agile SW development has been one of the top topics in SW industry
lately. The development methodology has raised from the realization that
waterfall-like project management methodologies do not reflect to the
real world requirements fast enough. Thus, one main concerns of agile sw
development is to be adaptable - any sw project should not fear change,
since change is evitable in a SW project. Agile aims to tackle the
changing requirements by releasing early and often and demonstrating the
process to the customer. Getting feedback from the customers is crucial
for the project success.

PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
Wednesday, March 17th 2010, is a hands-on day with 8 workshop sessions.
Thursday, March 18th 2010, is a full-day conference with 10 speakers
from all over the world.
