A series of cartoons depicts the terrible things that happen when agile practices aren’t followed. This session is valid for any persona, but especially for the product owner who will suffer when their product fails because they follow a process that isn’t helping their team deliver!

Today’s developers are quick to adopt leading-edge technologies that can accommodate project peaks and valleys, evolve and change, and support agile principles. Using the CollabNet platform, this session will demonstrate the agile best practice of continuous integration (CI) using cloud provisioning capabilities and the Hudson open source CI engine. Attendees will learn a framework that can be used in their environment, including an understanding of the components, tools, set up, and generalized use cases for development in both virtual private clouds and public clouds, like Amazon EC2.

This talk discusses techniques that can be used to apply Agile practices to atypical technologies, and presents case studies on how to apply Agile practices to projects built with technologies including Teradata (Database), and MicroStrategy (BI).
