Global Product Management Talk On The Agile - Business Gap

SAN FRANCISCO - April 20, 2013 - PRLog -- The best Agile practitioners and thought leaders state that products developed using Agile methods should be linked to the organizational strategies and objectives. In practice however Agile does not provide any guidance for product managers or business owners on how to make this link work. We call this the Agile Business Gap that exists between the objectives set out in a Business Case and the effective formulation of prioritized user stories that feed in to an agile development process.

Nick Coster, Co-Founder Brainmates, will chat with host, Cindy F. Solomon, on Monday, April 22, 2013 at the simultaneous times of 3:00 PM PT, 6:00 PM EDT in New York, and 8:00 AM AEST Tuesday, April 23 in Sydney, Australia

"I'm looking forward to discussing how we have applied components of our Product Development Framework to the Agile Business Gap, in a way that embraces the core philosophies of the Agile approach," states Nick.
