The latest versions of Visual Studio and TFS bring some great new features for developers, Product Owners, testers, and even the crusty old stakeholders.

Agile in the Enterprise: Lessons from the Real WorldSSW live-streamed webinar
This is probably the most confronting interview we have done at SSW TV! SSW has just spent 8 months building the first release of a transport management system for a major Australian transport company. Join the Product Owner (client) and the lead developer as they hold a live retrospective reflecting on what went well and what could be improved. The project was a time and materials engagement using scrum. This warts and all interview is your opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at the scrum process from the perspectives of a client and a developer. You will hear honest feedback of the pros and cons of scrum from both parties. The webinar will be hosted by Keith Longworth and SSW's own Marlon Marescia and Gerard Beckerleg. |
