About the conference
Agile Singapore is a non-profit organisation that consists of a group of volunteers, whom have dedicated their time to raising the awareness of Agile Software Development in Singapore. Agile software development has its genesis in the Agile Manifesto and the principles brought forth there. It has since become a well known but not necessarily a well practiced way of doing software. Agile Singapore aims to further spread the awareness about agility in the context of software development as well as challenge and inspire those who are practicing agility to further successes.
