Topic: Aim Small to Go Fast

Presenter:  Jason Knight, Project Manager/Scrum Master @ Southern Company

Description of presentation:

Fast delivery is a natural outcome of building smaller.  Given two things of the same size, Agile approaches in-and-of themselves are no faster than other approaches.  We get speed by building smaller “Minimal Viable Products” that provide real value to the user.
