Correction: The usual room was booked.
The meeting will be in ICT 516 (not ICT 121).

We are pleased to have Adam Alinauskas, Joel Briggs, Luu Duong and Mo Khan from eCompliance Management Solutions speaking to us this month with their presentation "Shortening the Feedback Loop - Our Sprint in a Nutshell"

Under the Agile software development umbrella there are many principals, processes, methodologies, and practices that fit this style of development. Many companies are relentlessly seeking and implementing ways to continually
improve how they design, develop and deliver software. We believe and have found in practice that the Agile way of software development enables, supports and drives this continuous quest for efficiency and improvement. One of the primary goals of Agile software development is to satisfy customer needs through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. We find that most of the business value comes from creating an environment where a shorter feedback loop allows our team to be more proactive and adapt quickly as and when necessary. In this presentation we will share and walk you through a typical sprint/iteration at eCompliance.caT and highlight to where we have shortened the feedback loop and increased efficiency and feedback quality.
