March 1:  Submissions due for Tutorials and Workshops

March 15:  Submissions due for Research Papers, Experience Reports, and 
Educators' Symposium

Agile 2005 integrates the best features of the Agile Development Conference 
and XP Agile Universe to create an exciting conference about techniques and 
technologies, attitudes and policies, research and experience, and the 
management and development sides of agile software development. The agile 
approach focuses on delivering business value early in the project lifetime 
and being able to incorporate late-breaking requirements changes.  It 
accentuates the use of rich, informal communication channels and frequent 
delivery of running, tested systems, while attending to the human component 
of software development.

Agile 2005 gives attendees access to the latest thinking in this domain, and 
bridges communities that rarely get a proper chance to exchange ideas and 
thoughts. It brings together researchers from labs and academia with 
executives, managers, and developers in the trenches of software development. 
Agile 2005 is not about a single methodology or approach, but rather provides 
a forum for the exchange of information regarding all agile development 
technologies.

We invite submissions for the following:
- Research Papers
- Experience Reports
- Tutorials
- Workshops / Peer to Peer Sessions
- Educators' Symposium

Other conference activities include:
- Introduction to Agile (for Agile "newbies")
- Executive Summit
- Open Space
