2:00 PM 3:30 PM  Introduction Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile Software By Tareq Ali

“Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile Software Development is a scenario-driven, context-based, agile software development process for building .NET and other object-oriented applications. MSF for Agile Software Development directly incorporates practices for handling quality of service requirements such as performance and security. It is also context-based and uses a context-driven approach to determine how to operate the project. This approach helps create an adaptive process that overcomes the boundary conditions of most agile software development processes while achieving the objectives set out in the vision of the project.”

In this Session, Tareq Ali is going to put your feet on the first step to adopt MSF4Agile.
