Conference Presentations

	Don’t Make These Scrum Mistakes Slideshow Scrum is a project management framework and does not specify a set of how-tos or checklists that some other development processes define.

	How to Do Kick-Ass Software Development Slideshow Software development is hard― keeping developers, testers, designers, product managers and other stakeholders in sync and working on the right things at the right time.
