Topic: Winning Acceptance for Agile Methodologies - eXtreme Programming

suitability for many projects. This presentation will focus on winning
the acceptance of customers, management and critics.=20
Topics will include:

* Scaling Up XP through the use of power tools=20
* Scaling Out XP through the use of management frameworks
Demonstration of power tools will bring alive the discussion. Let's
talk about things that have worked well, and things that - well -
provided "valuable experience". We'll be taking time for challenging
discussion as well as sharing war stories.
