Presentation: "Agile on the Mainframe and Other Odd Places"
Time: Thursday 14:30 - 15:30
Location: Cornell
Agile works on the mainframe, but it doesn't look quite the same as it does in other environments. This session covers what it means to be agile in a mainframe environment, what the obstacles are and what it takes to overcome them. Key points covered include a COBOL unit-test framework that is under development and a team-based approach that allows mainframe developers to "invent" agility within their own environment.
Beyond the mainframe focus, this session should be useful to anyone who has to implement agile in a setting where standard approaches don't seem to fit.
