How Quality Is Integrated Into Agile Development and Management Processes

Agile software development stands at the forefront of methodologies for creating software.  In this session, we'll lay the groundwork with a brief overview of Agile software development.  From there, we'll delve into best practices, tooling, and real-world examples that seamlessly integrate quality into our processes.  The iterative nature and philosophies of Agile not only drive software development, but also foster a culture of quality, offering valuable insights to individuals and organizations dedicated to pursuing excellence.
