Enterprise Geeks Podcast – SAP Inside Track Sydney – Agile Development Roundtable
Keeping with our recent topic of Agile Development, I recorded a round table discussion on the topic at the recent SAP Inside Track Sydney (which took place at the start of the Mastering SAP Technologies Conference). We had a really good discussion about Agile in the SAP space and I shared my experiences from working with the Web Dynpro ABAP foundation team, which was one of the SAP internal pilot teams for Agile during the 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 development cycle.
The Inside Track had four separate round table discussions going on at once and all in the same room. I boosted the audio levels on the recording but sometimes people farther away from the microphone asking questions or adding comments can be a bit difficult to hear.
