Case Study: Implementing Agile on a Large Project

Implementing Agile methods on a large project can be extremely
difficult. There can be significant overhead involved in team
communication along with a lack of “big picture” perspective. This
gets even more challenging when you’re introducing Agile methods on a
project that already has an established project management
methodology.

During this month’s Agile Edmonton meeting, Jim Clark, the Director of
Applications Service Delivery for ATCO I-Tek, will present a case
study on implementing Agile methods on a large project. Jim has over
nineteen years of professional IT experience in product development
and business solution delivery, including positions of increasing
responsibility and challenge with ATCO I-TEK, TransCanada and IBM
Canada Ltd. Ten of those years have been focussed on implementing
Agile methods on mid- to large-sized projects.

This meeting will be held in the IBM Innovation Center at 10044-108th
Street. You can find more event information on our website at
agileedmonton.org.

If possible, try to show up a bit before noon so that we can get
started on time. Be sure to forward this information to anybody that
would be interested. In particular, this event would be excellent for
project managers, VP’s, directors and even CIO’s.
