SureSolve™, our Agile Toolbox

Quick Solutions, Inc. has been delivering value to clients with an Agile methodology called SureSolve ™ since 2002.  That methodology has drastically evolved over the years, but the one thing that remains clear is that this process is a toolbox, not a tool. Project needs vary wildly from client to client and sometimes even within the same organization. Choosing the most appropriate sets of tools for each project is a critical factor in delivering value. This highly interactive session will let the audience explore some of the many tools of SureSolve™ like Feature Driven Design, Continuous Integration, 360 Reviews, Kanban, Big Visibility, Retrospectives and Paired Leadership. Attendees will prioritize the topics to ensure that maximum value is delivered, as it always is with SureSolve™.
