Abstract

Can GIS Be Agile?
Track: State and Local Government
Authors: Tim Nolan, Bret Fenster

We will discuss how Agile principles can be used for GIS projects and requests. We will exhibit how Scrum can be used to manage project requirements and tasks. We will even cover how to estimate or size work to be done.

The presentation will examine Agile/Scrum in progress. We’ll demonstrate how we manage effort and each other. What has improved since going Agile? What still needs work? And finally, why this works for GIS and government agencies?
