Presentation

Latest studies show the annual global IP traffic will reach 278 Million terabytes per month by 2021, up from 96 Million terabytes in 2016, approximately 3 fold increase of data on a month-to-month basis. This amount of data coming online will overload existing networks, that were architected and built back in the 90’s. We’ll look at various sources that are contributing to data deluge, and also the advances that we’re making in networking technologies that enable networks to be adaptive and self-healing.

Both traditional (Waterfall) methodology and Agile methodology have pros and cons and can be effective ways to structure a project. For teams that are not practicing Agile, there are still Agile practices that can benefit them. Daily standups, retrospectives, and many other key Agile practices and ceremonies can benefit even a Waterfall team. For many, the most arduous part of transitioning to Agile in a waterfall environment happens at the beginning—in the uncertainty of how to put the initiative into motion. 

In this seminar, strategies and best practices to begin incorporating Agile practices are revealed. Real-world experiences working with existing project teams to begin incorporating Agile practices and ceremonies are shared. By initiating practices, teams start to understand Agile principles and mindset and become better prepared to take the next steps on their Agile journey. Specific Agile practices, and how to adapt each one to a traditional environment, are covered.
