ND - Used some agile approaches in recent Banner Upgrade. DBAs, Developers, PMO all attended 3x week stand-ups. Used Kanban board to track tasks. Banner Upgrade standup 8;15-8:30, then various team stand-ups from 8:30-8:45. Good because people working on upgrade could take pertinent information back to team right away.
