Agile methods in product development and software projects are here to stay. Successful experiences of several companies during the past ten years have proven these methods can deliver significant value. Ixonos wants to support organizations in improving their productivity in software development projects by sharing our experiences. We offer an opportunity to take part in discussing the central topics related to agility and discover new ways of utilizing agile methods in practice.

At the Ixonos Agile Forum in September we will have interactive expert performances and our customer sharing their experiences. Petri Viima from Blyk and Teemu Salovaara from Elisa will be discussing the use of agile methods in their organizations. The Agile Forum is hosted by Business Development Manager Arto Saari.

The theme of the Agile Forum in September is active leadership role in business and how to create business-originated drivers for a successful agile project.

Time: Wednesday 8 September at 8.30 am to 1 pm.
Place: Hilton Kalastajatorppa, Kalastajatorpantie 1, Helsinki

The seminar is held in Finnish.
