Not all software is like that. Sometimes you're writing off-the-shelf enterprise applications that are, by necessity, installed only once a year (or less!). Can agile still work? What are the challenges particular to this situation? How can you get to a more ideal situation? This session is based on our personal experiences of making Agile work at Granta Design. We'll look at the challenges and rewards of Agile when working on an enterprise software product and contrast them with working in a more traditionally Agile SaaS setting.
