This document outlines an agenda for a talk on building software in 30 days using an empirical process. It discusses case studies of failed traditional predictive process projects at BAAC bank and the FBI's Sentinel project. The presentation will cover problems with predictive processes, such as release schedules slipping and quality deteriorating. It will then discuss the empirical process, highlighting iteration, transparency, and incremental delivery. Empirical processes focus on inspecting and adapting work frequently. The talk will also cover people practices in empirical processes like respecting individuals, self-organizing teams, and overlapping development phases.
