"At the 2006
ProjectWorld conference in Toronto, I attended a two days workshop
called ‘Systems Development Project Management:
Traditional,
Extreme, or Somewhere in the Middle?’ given by Kevin Aguanno. For me,
It was the best workshop ever attended before because I learnt so many
new concepts pertaining to the Agile methodology software dev. process.
The content of the course was very practical supported by many case
studies to understand the concepts. Also, the speaker is very
knowledgeable and convincing. Kevin was able to answer all the
audience’s questions and inquiries by providing relevant examples from
real life. Kevin’s communication abilities helped the message to go
through with a very intensive interactions."
