Meetings are 6:00pm to 8:00pm (Networking 6:00pm - 6:30pm)

-----------------------

In the early days of agility around the turn of the millennium, many agile initiatives started as grass roots efforts by passionate developers that were effectively rebelling against existing corporate structures.  As teams demonstrated successes, industry analysts and management consultants started telling their clients that they should get on the bandwagon.  Now more and more executives are involved in enterprise agile transformations. What are executives thinking about agile development?  Is there still a huge disconnect between grass roots practitioners and executives?  Along with Lisa Shoop, Todd Little is organizing the Agile Executive Forum that will be held in conjunction with Agile2012 in Dallas the week of August 13th.  Todd will be on the lookout for key takeaways from this event and Todd will summarize some of what we discover. 

Todd Little, Sr. Development Manager for Landmark Graphics, has for 30+ years developed or managed the development of commercial software applications for oil and gas exploration and production. 

He was on the Board of Directors for the Agile Alliance 2004-2011. In 2003, he co-founded the Agile Development Conference, and was the Chair for ADC2004, Agile2005 and Agile2006. He returned for the 10 year anniversary of the Agile Manifesto to Chair Agile2011. 

He co-authored the Declaration of Interdependence for Agile Leadership and was a founding member and past President of APLN. 

Along with Pollyanna Pixton, Niel Nickolaisen, and Kent McDonald, he co-authored the book “Stand Back and Deliver: Accelerating Business Agility,” Addison Wesley.  He posts all his papers and presentations on his website at www.toddlittleweb.com.
