In 2009, Performance Health Technology went "all-in" and began the
adoption of agile methodologies throughout the software development
process. In this talk, you'll take a multi-year journey with a growing
small business and experience the transition from the blissful ignorance
of cowboy-coding through the misery and despair of a sinking,
dysfunctional organization, and on to the satisfaction and exhilaration
that comes with a high-functioning agile team.
This interactive presentation is about both the pain and the fulfillment
that comes with developing software in a small business, before, during,
and after agile adoption. Developers, Business/IT Managers, Agile
Coaches, and Executives are invited to look behind the curtain to see
how PH Tech narrowly escaped from the Pit of Development Despair and
survived a Total Immersion into Agile.
Chad is the Director of Information Technology at PH Tech. His
responsibilities include all aspects of technological infrastructure and
software development, including three technology departments;
Information Systems, Business Intelligence, and Software Engineering.
When he's not talking about healthcare or technology, he's expounding
the life-giving qualities of bacon and BBQ. Buy him a beer and he'll
give you the recipe for the greatest chicken wing rub he's ever stolen.
This event is free and is at our new location, Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland).
The program starts at 7:00 pm.
After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of chicken wings and other agile conundrums.
