Rally Software Announces Free Webcasts for Business Leaders on Agile Practices
BOULDER, Colo., April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rally (RALY), a leading global provider of cloud-based solutions for managing Agile software development, announces a series of free webcasts throughout April and May that discusses many of the key principles and practices covered in the company's forthcoming book -- Agile Business: A Leader's Guide to Harnessing Complexity. In anticipation of the book's June 2013 release at RallyON (Rally's annual user conference), these webcasts offer real-world advice from seasoned Agile experts to help organizations build Agile businesses.
"Agile Business is more than just a savvy guide to the ins and outs of the Agile development process," said Geoffrey Moore, author, Crossing the Chasm. "It is a call to take your game up to a new level where customers are not only satisfied but delighted and where work teams are not only productive but inspired."
Agile Business focuses on Agile from a business perspective, aiming to help readers understand and apply the principles across their organizations. It contains real-world advice from 35 Rally coaches, executives, developers and managers who are widely regarded as thought leaders in Agile and Lean practices.
