The call will feature a case study of how Agile project management helped a small team of complete strangers from Pennsylvania DEP and the private sector rapidly develop a prototype mobile application that helps the public learn more about the local environment. The case study will review the teams successes, challenges, and offer lessons learned which may help you more productively participate in your next Agile project.
