"Talking Agile" Breakfast event - Johannesburg
These events are mainly focused around developer managers or lead, project managers etc. It is also useful for developers but the intention is not to drill into code. We did the first of these events in Johannesburg earlier this year. Below are the details:

As part of a select group of senior technology professionals, you are cordially invited to the Developer Managers' breakfast event, to engage in dialogue around the imperative issues faced by developer managers and the software development industry in South Africa.
Agile Development is the big buzzword in software process improvement. Do you know what it encompasses, when you should use it, the requirements placed on the organization that uses them and how it differs from other methodologies? Ernest Mnkandla, senior lecturer at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa in the Department of Business Information Technology will provide insight into the world of agile software development.
The session will also present some learnings from Microsoft services on some recent projects.
Attendance is limited, so please register early to secure your place.
