Welcome

Agile methods strive to deliver business value early in the project lifetime and to adapt to changing requirements. They leverage the use of “high-bandwidth” and informal communication, supporting the human side of software development while delivering running, tested systems.

Agile Portugal 2010 will be an international conference about Agile software development and its practices, technologies, attitudes and experiences. Created by practitioners, for practitioners, it is suited for both experts and beginners in Agile methods. Rather than focusing on a single methodology, it will be a forum for all Agile development approaches.

Topics

Agile methods: Scrum, Lean, XP, etc
Agile project management
Agile coaching
Test Driven Development
Behavioral Driven Development
Incremental design
Continuous integration
Agile documentation
Refactoring to Patterns
Collaborative development environments
and more…
