Brighton, MI, November 13, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Pillar Technology <www.pillartechnology.com> announces today that it will host an executive seminar on Agile software development and Enterprise Value Modeling.
“Many organizations adopt Agile processes like Scrum and XP.” said Gary Gentry, CEO and Founder of Pillar. “They become effective at iterative and incremental delivery, and increase their software quality higher than it's ever been, yet they fail to harness the new productivity to deliver anything of real business value.”
Former NASA software engineer and Pillar Vice President Chris Beale will keynote the seminars. “Effective Agile product management can accelerate and increase ROI.” said Chris Beale. “This interactive seminar environment will allow participants to explore an approach to identifying high value feature sets, Enterprise Value Modeling.”

What makes you Agile?
What aspects of Agile software development are the most important?
How to prepare yourself for the Agile transformation.
Common mistakes to avoid in transitioning to an Agile environment.
Which inspection practices can keep you on track?
