Today's Presentation The lighter side of Project Management: Good practices in project management and agile development have been recurring themes during our meetings this year. But besides delivering the next software release or doing just-in-time manufacturing of iPods, they can also be applied to producing a successful field show for a marching band. During the last four years his daughters have actively participated in the Homestead High School Marching Band. After living through the iterations that produce the Golden Show, Peter discusses how a field show is put together and shares his witty observations on parallels with agile methodologies.
