Dr. David F. Rico will give a presentation on the “Business Value of Agile Methods: Using ROI and Real Options,” which are highly-disciplined contemporary new product development approaches for rapidly building high-quality information technology-intensive systems. After a brief introduction to agile methods, an overview of popular agile methods will be presented including 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 top consulting firms.) This will include 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.
This briefing has been warmly received the Project Management Institute (PMI), the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN), Agile Project Leadership Network (APLIN), University of Virginia CIO Conference, Central Maryland Association of .NET Professionals (CMAP), Boeing Cyber & Information Solutions, Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), and major U.S. Government Agencies. This briefing has also 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.” For more information on this new book please visit http://davidfrico.com/rico10f.pdf
