RE@Agile Primer — Morning Session I
Impiana Hotel•Trainer: Coming soon

Opening session of the two-day RE@Agile Primer — a pre-conference training that bridges classical requirements engineering with agile delivery. Participants start with the foundations: why requirements work doesn’t disappear in agile contexts, and how to do it without reverting to heavyweight documentation.

Full course outline and trainer bio will be published once the trainer is confirmed.
