Open Agile Romania @ eLiberatica 2009
Open Agile Romania is the first big event in Romania about managing software development with Agile methods, about combining techniques, technologies and attitudes to create value. This event is not about a single method of work, it's about an opportunity to share and discuss thoughts and experiences from software development.
The two days where presentations, case studies and interactive workshop are combined give the opportunity of group discussions on the subjects you propose at the beginning of each open session.
Open Agile Romania gives good networking opportunities to all participants.
