The Edison Papers is pleased to present Agile Explained, a one-day software seminar with Rich Sheridan, President of Menlo Innovations.

When software projects fail, the typical reaction is to invent a more stringent process: more elaborate specifications, signoffs, code reviews, extensive marketing feedback, and a variety of "tools." Ironically, the best answers lie in doing just the opposite -- being truly fluid and responsive. Agile development practices can be easily implemented and require little or no capital investment.

As President of Menlo Innovations, Richard Sheridan formed his company around the passions of building great software and great software teams. Rich focuses his attention and energy on the power of open and collaborative work spaces as originally practiced by Thomas Edison. The dramatic success of Menlo Innovations earned Rich a cover on Forbes magazine in May 2003, during one of the hardest times for the information technology industry.

The seminar will be held at the
New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick, NJ
Friday, October 7, 2005 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
