Description:
The first wave of Agile software development challenged "waterfall"
project management methodologies and traditional Quality Assurance. The
next wave of Agile challenges on-premise software through what is known
as Software-as-a-Service (or SaaS)
Using Sun Tzu's timeless classic "The Art of War" as a framework,
Founder/CEO of Cubic Compass, Mike Leach, presents principles and
practices for creating and leading an Agile SaaS organization that
challenges the status quo of software development and delivery.
