Educational Presentation
Agile @ the City
Agile project-delivery methods are ideal for projects requiring a high degree of team coordination, rapid deliverables, and management of scope changes. Agile has been applied to software projects for nearly two decades, and now the methods are slowly making their way into other types of work. This presentation will show recent uses of Agile within the City of Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services. After initial successes in planning-level applications, the City implemented varoius Agile methods – predominantly Scrum and Kanban - across various design phases of a CIP project involving sewer pipe and stormwater facilities.
