Attached are the slides from our July 2 webinar presented by Steve Ropa from Version One, a leader in agile software delivery products and services.

Steve discussed the artifacts from Agile/Scrum projects as opposed to the traditional waterfall artifacts (functional specs, technical specs, test plans, approvals, etc.) and how those artifacts still satisfy audit based requirements.

Thanks everybody who attended. Stay tuned for another large group meeting in the next few months.

GA Tech - Going live with project today - 4th sprint on this one. Working through issue with ID Mgmt, part only has prod environment, difficult to test. Scrum went well, included things like support transition in sprint. In June, doing Scrummaster training.

ND -
Met with a new project team considering Scrum - went well, used our "sales pitch" which consists of a few ppt slides and pictures of team rooms/Scrum artifacts from the projects currently Scrumming. Continuing to figure out how to manage 3rd party vendor efforts into Scrum projects, since the vendors use more traditional waterfall approach.
