agile and lean network of excellence

AGILE & LEAN NETWORK OF EXCELLENCE                     2010 - 2015

€2.5m industry contribution confirmed to NUIG

The goal of this project is to establish an Irish network of excellence in agile and lean software development, and to position Irish companies, Irish subsidiaries and Irish researchers as thought and technology leaders in agile and lean development. It aims to create techniques, knowledge and tools allowing companies that develop innovative software systems to fully exploit the value-driven, waste-minimization, efficiency and effort-saving advantages of agile and lean development. It is managed in an agile manner, with short-term iterations and goals, collocation where possible, and validation of the value of each activity via continuous involvement of all stakeholders.
