SAN JOSE, Calif. - April 3, 2014 - PRLog -- David J. Anderson, a pioneer in the application of business methodologies for IT development and CEO of LeanKanban University, keynotes the upcoming AgileCamp 2014, Silicon Valley's premier Agile conference for technology and project professionals, convening on May 2 and 3, at PayPal, 2211 North First Street, San Jose.

AgileCamp 2014 organizers expect more than 200 attendees, including Agile novices, practitioners, and experts, as well as corporate executives keen to build and implement innovative Agile strategies for managing IT development teams and projects and increasing productivity in their companies—strategies based on four basic values: individuals and interactions over processes and tools; working software over comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration over contract negotiation; and responding to change over following a plan.

Hosted this year by Bratton & Company and eBay/Pay Pal, AgileCamp is one of the largest Agile gatherings in the Silicon Valley, attracting professionals from various disciplines and levels for a full day of keynotes, featured speakers, workshops, and networking focused on exploring and applying Agile principles and practices in order to make the IT industry more productive. Attendees listen, learn, discuss, and teach practices that help businesses succeed. A majority of attendees represent prominent technology companies including eBay, PayPal, Yahoo!, Cisco, LinkedIn, StubHub, Ericsson, HP, Comcast, Twitter, Facebook, Salesforce, Symantec, Oracle, Visa, and others.

"AgileCamp enables individuals to understand more how Agile works," says lead organizer Stacey Louie, CEO, Bratton & Company, "and how companies can benefit from using Agile to increase their value and innovation at a rapid pace. These two days are intense for the IT development industry, offering a wide range of information and tools that people can take back to the workplace and act on the next business day."

Registration for the Saturday, May 3, all-day conference is $175, and includes access to some of the industry's most prominent speakers, opportunities to network with industry leaders and peers, lunch, and giveaways. Registration for the Friday, May 2, four-hour pre-conference workshop, "Intro to Basic Agile; Intro to Kanban; and Intro to Agile Facilitation Tools," is $99.

More about Agile
The Agile manifesto, developed in 2001, describes four values in response to traditional approaches to managing software development projects: individuals and interactions over processes and tools; working software over comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration over contract negotiation; and responding to change over following a plan. Agile project management takes a slightly different form, relying far more on the project manager’s skills in communication, facilitation, and coordination, and emphasising far less on planning and control. Agile methods have proven their effectiveness, and are transforming the IT industry. Visit www.agilemanifesto.org.
