[Filipe Correia]

Nome: Agile Portugal 2010
Datas: 25 a 26 de Junho 2010
Local: FEUP, Porto
URL: http://www.agilept.org

Agile methods strive to deliver business value early in the project
lifetime and to adapt to changing requirements. By leveraging the use
of “high-bandwidth” and informal communication, agile methods support
the human side of software development while delivering running,
tested systems.

Agile Portugal 2010 is an international conference about Agile
Software Development and its practices, technologies, attitudes and
experiences. Created by practitioners, for practitioners, it is suited
for both experts and beginners in Agile methods. Rather than focusing
on a single methodology, it will be a forum for several Agile
development approaches.

At its first edition, Agile Portugal will take place on 25-26 June, in
Porto, Portugal. Right after the city's greatest festival (S. João),
Agile Portugal 2010 will serve as a superb backdrop for innovation,
discussion and networking with other agilists, bringing together
thought leaders, practitioners, and trainers from all over the
country.
