Boulder, Colorado (PRWEB) March 13, 2016 -- Scaled Agile, Inc., provider of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®), is supporting Agile India 2016 as an Enterprise Agile Theme and Reception sponsor. Now in its sixth year, Agile India is taking place in Bangalore from March 14–21, 2016. With over 1,500 attendees expected, it is Asia's largest international conference on Lean and Agile software development methods. The Agile Software Community of India (ASCI) is hosting over 125 sessions with speakers from all parts of the globe. To view the full conference program, visit http://2016.agileindia.org.
“This is an important event for us because India has become a hotbed of SAFe practitioner growth and activity,” said Carol McEwan, Scaled Agile’s Vice President of Community. “Over the last year we’ve seen a 300% growth rate from India, resulting in over 4,000 SAFe practitioners in that region alone. We are focused on supporting their professional development as they build their expertise in implementing SAFe, and look forward to meeting many of our India-based members at the conference.”
Conference attendees looking to learn about SAFe are invited to drop by the Scaled Agile booth to meet the team, address questions, and hear the stories behind SAFe successes in some of the largest enterprises in the world. Scaled Agile speakers will also be discussing SAFe in these sessions:
