Xebia has organized AGILE NCR 2008 Conference in cooperation with Agile Software Community of India. This event took place at Ansal Institute of Technology at Gurgaon. Around 120 participants from India and abroad have attended this first conference on Agile Software Development in North India.
"A gripping keynote was delivered by Pete Deemer to kick off the day. Basically Pete warned us for the hardships of Agile adoption by discussing his top 19 lessons of Agile adoption at Yahoo! and other companies. While some companies experience a delight when implementing Agile others have a very hard and frustrating time and don’t reap the full benefits. His 19 lessons were geared towards making sure you fall into the positive category."
Guido Schoonheim, Participant Agile NCR 2008 in his blog

The conference ended with an intense Open Space session followed by a lucky draw for an iPOD.
