techVELOCITY Day

My company[southtech limited] decided to do a techVELOCITY day on every month. I think this is a nice attempt. The target is to arrange a seminar where people can present any technology that may have enough potentiality to use and get benefited.




I thought why not speak about agile method and try to make understand everybody some of the excellent features of agile development.I don't know whether i am success or not in that matter but I had good response and people were asking questions about how we can adopt that and in what sort of projects.




My main target was to describe the benefits of visual modeling and just enough documentation. Documentation is a good thing but people have to compare the benefits of documentation with the cost of its maintenance and effectiveness.
I also mentioned a comparison between agile and waterfall.I think adopting the complete lifecycle of agile development has few problems at this moment specially in the environment where I work. Some of them are Team empowerment,Customer involvement because if we fail to prove our customer the benefit of close involvement they will not give their timer so closely.
Any way, the techVELOCITY day was excellent and we enjoyed a lot.
