Incorporating User Acceptance Testing into Agile

Also see how it's implemented in Jira with SynapseRT as Cheney gives a demonstration of complete traceability by associated epics with user stories, user stories with acceptance criteria and tests with defects. View this wowubuntu webinar to learn more >

How to Define Agile – Is There a Definition or Standard?

The software industry is still quite young, yet as it matures, we’ve seen many development trends, technologies and tools come and go. As you know, one methodology that has become popular of late is Agile. We all know it as an adjective, we all desire to be agile. Who wants to be slow and clumsy? Those that gathered and put together the Agile Manifesto certainly chose a good name for “it”, whatever “IT” is. That’s the subject of this article, the definition of Agile or what is Agile?

Overcoming Agile Virtual Team Challenges

Agile is everywhere. Software development companies can’t seem to live without it – no Scrum, no glory. But Scrum as an agile implementation is no recipe for a guaranteed success: it may even be the opposite. While it´s tempting to go Agile “all the way”, you might want to think twice before doing so and ask yourself what is it you want to achieve through applying it. In this webinar, catch up with Heidi Araya, our guest speaker, who will discuss agile virtual team challenges and how to alleviate some of the inconveniences of working in an agile remote environment.
