Agile software development helping businesses react in real time

There are two distinct strategies set to shape the business landscape during 2014: agile methodologies and customer experience. These are intrinsically linked and whether you are in business management or marketing, being able to respond in real time will become imperative and a business-norm.

Professor Barry Dwolatzky joint winner of the prestigious “South African IT Personality of the Year” Award in 2013, head of Software Engineering at Wits University and the Director of the Joburg Centre for Software Engineering (JCSE), will be demystifying the conc; ept of “agile development” for non-experts, providing answers to the many questions most are afraid to ask about Agile methodologies.

Professor Barry Dwolatzky has worked for over 35 years in the software industry in South Africa and the UK, and has trained generations of software engineers. Over the past two years he has been the driving force behind establishing a major Digital Technology Hub in Braamfontein Johannesburg, called the “Tshimologong Precinct”.
