I'm trying to identify a training in Agile practices. Can anyone recommend something?
Background:
I work on fixed-priced contracts, and our firm is working on CMMI certification. Based on these issues, it would seem that I would need to take a more pragmatic approach, and wouldn't be able to adhere to something as strict as XP, but might be able to adopt some of the general Agile pieces, like TDD, for example.
Alternatively, might it be preferable to go to this conference as a first step?
http://www.sqe.com/agiledevpractices/ I just don't know where to begin, and I don't have a ton of free time to investigate via books and online documentation, but I do have a "training/conference" allowance.
Thanks,
Jamie
