For many years, there were two major approaches for structuring Information Technology (IT) development projects – traditional waterfall or iterative development.

New approaches are now available that fall under the general category of “light” or Agile methodologies.

Calling them methodologies is probably too broad a word. It might be better to refer to them as development approaches, or even philosophies.

Tom Mochal Pmp PgMP TSPM ITBMC (LinkedIn profile) will provide a quick overview of Agile terminology, concepts and roles.

Tom will also highlight an Agile lifecycle model so that attendees can see how an Agile project could be structured from start to finish. By the end of the session students will see why these Agile processes are exciting and unique.
