The Agile Development Methodology (Los Angeles)

BDPA Los Angeles chapter, founded in June 1982, is the 17th largest chapter in the nation. The chapter decided that the theme of their work in the first quarter of 2008 is Software Development: Career Track and Its Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Role'. The first topic for this quarterly theme is The Agile Development Methodology. Agile software development is a conceptual framework for software engineering that promotes development iterations throughout the life-cycle of the project.

Our guest presenter is John Malonson, Raytheon Corporation, Project Manager/Information Architect (Business Applications Solutions). John has many years of software development experience, including several methodologies. He has a broad technical background and teaching experience. Whatever your discipline may be, analysis, testing, development, networks, etc., you can expect to leave this meeting with nuggets of information that can be used throughout all phases of the project development life cycle.

The logistics for the meeting are as follows:


Date: Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Location: Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall

Community Meeting Room
Corner of Crenshaw Blvd. and Martin Luther King Blvd
(First floor, near Sears, adjacent to the Police Office)

Be sure not to miss this one as BDPA Los Angeles is putting together building blocks of training that will equip you for continued professional success.

As a bonus, this will be an opportuity to honor John Malonson as the 2007 Volunteer of the Year for the BDPA Los Angeles chapter. John untiringly gave countless hours as the coordinator of the High School Computer Competition (HSCC) program last year. He also was elected to serve as the chapter's president-elect, scheduled to become chapter president in 2009. What better way to start off the new year than with him as guest speaker for the program meeting on Tuesday, January 15.
