Conference Language is German; English sessions possible.
After the successful conferences in 2004-2007 we are pleased to announce the fifth XP Days Germany. Like the years before the conference will be co-arranged by andrena objects AG and akquinet it-agile GmbH.
In the tradition of previous XP Days in London and Benelux, XP Days Germany is an international conference about eXtreme Programming and Agile Software Development aimed at software developers, project leaders, IT managers, testers, architects, and coaches. It provides a good opportunity for exchanging ideas and sharing experiences, and is suited for both experienced participants and beginners in Agile Software Development. The focus of this conference is on practical knowledge, real-world experience and active participation of all attendees.
We encourage session proposals from experienced practitioners of eXtreme Programming (XP) and other agile methods, such as Adaptive, Crystal, DSDM, Feature-Driven Development, Lean, and Scrum.
Organising a session is the best way to learn from such a conference. It provides an opportunity to share your experiences, to get feedback on your ideas, and to try out new session formats. Session organisers will get free admission to the conference. The conference will take place in Hamburg.
