Topic: Agile Requirements With Fit
Agile projects are all about communication and collaboration. What does that mean for requirements? There’s no up-front requirements phase… does that mean there’s no requirements document or tool? What about functional testing?
Join James Shore for an exploration of requirements on agile projects. James will share what he’s learned about agile requirements in eight years of working with agile team, then introduce Fit, the confusingly-named Framework for Integrated Test. Learn why Fit isn’t what everyone thinks it is, what it has to do with agile requirements, and how you can use Fit to improve communication on your project. This will be an interactive session, so bring your product owner hat and join in!
About the Speaker: James Shore is the project coordinator for Fit and maintainer of the Java and C# versions. He’s been leading agile teams in success and failure since 1999. He’s been struggling with the question of agile requirements and functional testing for nearly as long. In 2005, the Agile Alliance granted Jim one of the two inaugural Gordon Pask awards for contribution to agile practice. His new book, The Art of Agile Development, has recently been published by O’Reilly. Find his blog, essays on agile development, and more at http://jamesshore.com.
