__The Agile movement has largely ignored the experiences of CTOs and senior leaders in an Agile enterprise. In this session, we move toward a pattern language of CTO-level Agile practices and underlying principles, with supporting or constraining forces. Presenters will explain survey data and a CTO panel will contribute their stories.

Open source is changing how software is built and how money is made. This talk discusses the economics of open source software from the start-up firm, the system integrator, and the software developer perspective. The talk provides a strategy framework and discusses its implementation using the dual-license strategy. It explains how system integrators use open source in the share-of-wallet wars. Finally, open source defines a new developer career. This talk explains this new career and argues that it creates economic value for some while it makes life harder for others.

Have you ever played the role of business owner and found yourself between “a rock and a hard place” of organizational politics when prioritizing backlog features?

The end result is a company constantly changing, improving and looking for the next highest business value it can create.
