Agile Africa 2014
The second annual Agile Africa conference will take place on 11 and 12 August 2014 as part of Wits University's "Fak'ugesi: Digital Africa Festival"
Agile Africa 2014 will revisit the Agile Manifesto and debate the impact that it has had over the past 14 years.
In hosting the conference the Joburg Centre for Software Engineering (JCSE) is keen to review actual examples of the successes and failures of Agile development in Africa since the release of the Agile Manifesto in 2000, and thus inviting African developers and managers to tell their stories and share their agile experiences.
Agile Africa 2014 will focus on participation, collaboration and information sharing. It will include keynote addresses and panel discussions. Authorities will present keynote addresses on a range of relevant topics: David Hussman, agility coach/instructor and practitioner; Daniel Vacanti, Kanban CEO and founder, Bennet Vallet: Director of product development, Siemens Healthcare, Philadelphia, PA, USA and Enyonam Kumahor - the Regional Managing Director of Pan-Africa for ThoughtWorks.
In addition, there will be a number of parallel streams featuring talks from invited speakers.
The JCSE has issued a call for papers and ideas for workshops and tutorials. For more information please contact az.gro.escj@hgielhsa or 011 717-6395 or visit http://www.AgileAfricaConference.com
