November Meeting – Scaling Agile: A Real Life Experience

[Michael McClenaghan]

The next Agile Edmonton user group meeting will be on Wednesday,
November 4th at noon.

PAS: Scaling Agile – A real life experience

PAS was a joint venture development initiative by 4 major oil and gas
companies and CGI. Devon, Encana, Husky and Talisman joined with CGI
to develop a new Production and Revenue Application. Each company put
3 senior business resources on the project. The development component
of the PAS initiative cost $35M over 5 years with up to 90 people on
the team. This presentation is on how we used Agile to achieve this
mammoth undertaking.

The product is currently running in production at 5 major oil and gas
companies with great reviews. It is also in production for several mid
and smaller sized companies. CGI is currently marketing the product.
