Scaling Agile Development: How Do You Source Services And From Whom?

Agile development (or simply "Agile") continues to see consistent, strong adoption. However, Forrester survey data shows that only a small percentage of firms are outsourcing Agile application development due to a lack of experience with the development sourcing approaches and governance models needed to make it work.

As business technology (BT) moves onto the radar screen of CIOs, the need to leverage Agile application development techniques is rising. Application Development & Delivery (AD&D) leaders, seeking to create systems of engagement faster and more effectively, struggle to access Agile development resources, which leads to strong adoption of Agile development services. In response to market demand, vendors are aggressively refining their practices, expanding their skills, and augmenting their geographical capabilities to support the growing expectations of clients on Agile.

Join Wolfgang Benkel and Diego Lo Giudice in this Webinar as they discuss the primary Agile services players in the market, their level of Agile scale, what they offer, and how to work with them.
