Hi all:      I considered PowerHouse Application Design Guidelines    an Agile Methodology  blueprint for creating and deploying Powerhouse applications..     For those of you in Eastern Ontario , Québec Ouest, and upstate    New York you may be interested in the following talk.     It is interesting to note that Scott Amber's company IBM now    owns PowerHouse! Regards,Peter Bateman     Just a reminder that The Agile Ottawa Group's February event is this coming Wednesday, Feb. 13th, featuring Scott Ambler of IBM.Here are the details:When: Wednesday, February 13th at 7:00 PMWhere: The Theatre at BitHeads, 1309 Carling Ave. (Westgate Mall), atthe entrance on the East side of the building.What: Scaling Agile Software DevelopmentAbstract:The majority of organizations have gotten their feet wet with Agilesoftware development techniques and are now hoping to take it to thenext stage. However, they're discovering that the simple methodologiesthey initially adopted aren't sophisticated enough to address thecomplex situations the find themselves in. This presentation describesstrategies for taking an Agile approach to distributed developmentteams, for addressing regulatory compliance requirements, for largeteams, and for leveraging legacy assets. Techniques from the RationalUnified Process (RUP), Agile Modeling (AM), and Agile Data methodologiesthat are required to scale Agile will be described in detail in thispresentation. Once you go beyond the Agile rhetoric you will find thatyou can in fact scale it to meet the complexities of the real-worldsituations you find yourself in.Speaker Bio:Scott W.
