Ever wonder how a real agile team takes a project from start to finish? PSCAD has grown into an agile team within a non-agile (i.e. waterfall) environment over the years, by piecing together agile techniques that work for them. Here, they will share the process of evolving a project from an idea to production. This session will detail how PSCAD uses agile techniques such as Planning Poker, Kanban, silent brainstorming, and story mapping to generate successful projects.
