Experiences from Agile Projects Great and Small

Over the last five years we have been relentlessly applying Agile practices on a number of projects, great and small, with decent success. These successes, however, have not been achieved without challenges and lessons learned along the way.

This report identifies some of the important practices we have learned and specifically highlights examples from a number of different software development projects of varying sizes within this period and within the same organization. Main highlights of the talk are discussions about Team Practices, Developer Practices, Project Characteristics, Equipment, Tools and Facilities, People and Roles and Organizational change.
