About the Presentation
Dr. David Rico will provide a brief introduction to Agile Methods, an overview of popular Agile Methods, and a brief survey of the benefits of Agile Methods as reported by major industry studies (including rarely seen, late-breaking economic data and results from the top consulting firms).
He will present a survey of costs and benefits, a suite of metrics for quantifying business value, a discussion of parametric models, a methodology for estimating ROI, and a comparison of 11 major Agile and Traditional Methods.
The results of this briefing have been published in a major international journal and a new book entitled, "Business Value of Agile Software Methods: Maximizing ROI with Just-in-Time Processes and Documentation"
