Topic: GROWing Software and Skills

It’s time for a practical, pragmatic, real-world take on software development and programming. The GROWS™ Method goes beyond one-size-fits-all rules, misapplied “agile” and rigid adherence to previous “best practices” that may no longer apply. GROWS embraces a growth skills model, an empirical approach to process adoption and technical solutions, organizational inclusiveness, and features Tracer-Bullet Development to minimize risk.

Join Andy Hunt, a well-regarded lecturer on software development topics, for this exciting look at a better way to develop software, people, and organizations.
