DESCRIPTION
There are a lot of disappointment with Agile nowadays, as many agile initiatives fail - at least fail to deliver the brand new world of hyper-productivity that was envisioned. However, it does not suffice to make small changes and hope for large benefits. For an agile initiative to really pay off, several fields must be agile-minded: technology, process, and organisation. Shortcoming in any of these will cap the possible success. This presentation covers the three "elements" tech, process, and org, in an attempt to make an inventory of what practices we have in each field. And, of those practices - which of them are well-established, which are well-known and well described, and which are totally avant-garde? Hopefully each organisation can find something to pick to move their agile initiative a little bit further.

Manifesto for Agile Software Development
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
