VMC Consulting and Rally Software Host Agile Café
Redmond, WA, October 30, 2011 --(PR.com)-- VMC Consulting and Rally Software have partnered to host an Agile Café event in Bellevue on Wednesday, November 2, 2011. This event focuses on Agile development best practices and practical application, including discussions from VMC and Rally experts showcasing how Rally’s software helped bring a successful Agile culture to a client company. The event will be at the Westin Bellevue in Bellevue, WA from 9:00am-12:00pm PST on Wednesday, November 2.
“We have designed a session that gives a hands-on application of practices that we’ve found helpful in Agile development environments,” said Scott Bowen, Director of Software Development at VMC. “We will share some success stories on a project where we partnered with Rally, and then we’ll take you through some interactive exercises to help break down some of the cultural and social blocks that interfere with adopting and scaling Agile practices successfully.”
“I’m always excited to share real-world advice about Agile and some of the key characteristics seen in high-performance delivery teams and organizations,” said Ann Konkler, Agile Coach at Rally Software. “As an Agile Coach, I love helping others understand and achieve the benefits of an adaptive work culture, fostered by collaborative leadership and motivated teams.”
At this session, attendees will learn how Agile tools and best practices can increase visibility across teams and reduce defects. The benefit of establishing a strong foundation in Agile methodology, including meeting iteration commitments and successful release planning, can help an organization scale Agile from a single team to multiple teams or even across the enterprise.
The Agile Café will include presenting an Agile case study success story, a workshop by VMC on building teamwork, a Rally Software Demo and an interactive Q&A with VMC and Rally Software presenters.
