I have managed the design, development and implementation of automated solutions in many industries, for many years. I've worked in all stages of the software development life cycle from requirements definition through to application delivery and support, for end-users, for systems vendors, and with other professionals, mostly in Retail, Manufacturing and Health Care.
I'm a late but enthusiastic convert to Agile development.
I'm also an advocate for logical modeling. I look forward to the day when modeling technology will progress to the point that models will become solutions in themselves, and line-by-line coding of business applications will be a thing of the past. I'm not sure how this squares with Agile development, so it's my challenge to figure it out.

Confessions of a former Agile Skeptic
40 Mins
Experience Report
Beginner
"We have no shortage of great ideas. They get thrown into the mill, analyzed forever, chopped down to mere shadows of themselves, slotted into a roadmap for 18 months out, and clients don't see even these poor excuses for innovation for years. When clients finally do see the new features, they don't like them. Or they don't work. Do something!" - our CEO
Long a passionate proponent of elaborate system designs, a veteran business analyst suffers debilitating inertia in a growing software product company. The company goes through a successful agile transformation, the analyst has an epiphany, and becomes an enthusiastic agile advocate.
This presentation is about misconceptions shed, lessons learned, and problems that remain to be solved in an organization still in its agile adolescence.
