Effective Software Development In The 21st Century: The New Face Of Software Engineering

What are the foundations for improving delivery of software?

In this talk, Alistair Cockburn, one of the founders of the Agile Software Development movement, lays out the three foundations for effective software development.

These three cornerstones explain the success of effective teams, provide good advice to live and harried project teams, and create a sound basis for educating the next generation of developers.
