Program – Four Lessons of Life: Applying them to Agile Projects

Tony Akins will share four lessons he has learned from life and how they apply to leading agile projects.

·         Do what works all the time - If a practice, technique, and/or approach works, do it all the time.

·         Don't work in the dark - It's all about feedback - the longer you work without feedback, the longer you are working in the dark.

·         Make it better - Unless you can make it (a piece of code, a project, a relationship) better, don't bother working on it.

·         Everyone has value - Or, as my wife likes to say, everyone brings a gift to the table.

Anthony Akins has been in the software industry for over 20 years, working in research and development, direct marketing and sales, product development (all phases from initial requirements to in the field maintenance), training and development, process improvement and technology transition.  He is currently the Director of Software at Behavioral Recognition Systems where he oversees the day-to-day operations of Research, Development, Quality Engineering and Deployment staffs.  Previously Tony was a Senior Consultant at Valtech Technologies where he provided expertise in agile project management.
