IndigoBlue at the Agile Business Conference

15 OCT 2012 | Posted in Agile Business Conference 2012, agile governance, incremental delivery, uncertainty management | Author Rob Smith

This year's Agile Business Conference was the best yet. There was a great level of attendance with a good number of large enterprises attending. There were some great talks, from both Agile specialists and user companies.

Looking at the Wikipedia entry for "agile project management", we were reminded that there are many myths and misinformed views surrounding this very adaptable method of delivering projects. Certainly it started us thinking about how we could update and better inform the article, but before we took that step we thought we'd try exploring and explaining some of our reasoning in a post of our own: just to provide balance to some of the alternative views of Agile that are out there.
