［Session 2（40 minutes）］ Scrum and quality (Session sponsored by Microsoft Japan - from lessons of agile fields in Japan)
The past 3 times we provided Microsoft cases studies and agile solutions. From last year, we are focusing the people who are practicing agile methods in Japan. From users perspective, we are talking what we have learned in agile cases studies.
Development processes described on the books or decided in organizations are designed but not possible to execute. Any development contexts are different depending on team members, target system, customers, period of development, and so on. So development processes are always created and executed they executed at the same time of ongoing development.
This is also true in Scrum. Scrum defines the minimus framework but, as literally says, it is the framework for software development to go forward. It is up to indivisual team thinking how the contend of this framework can be implemented, and actually performing.
In the session, ”Quality" is the key-word for Scrum framework to be executable in practice. We will show how to implement them with real examples.- Speaker：

［Special Session （40 minutes）］Kanban operation in enterprise scales
In the past years, forward-thinking companies in America and Europe, not in Japan, are incresing the desire to learn about the TPS(Toyota Production System) and TMS(Total Management System). In fact, there are some companies doing a cram school operation to try brewing the company culture on their own. Many practices have been used since agile methods were borned at more than 10 years ago. However, almost every each technique cannot be evolved drastically.In this session, we are going to speak about what become the point of origin of the agile technique(TPS/TMS), which essencially strengthen the management ability, at the same time , we are going to speak about the KANBAN, based on one pratice of TPS. We provide some example and show how enterprise can implement the KANBAN.

［Session 3（40 minutes）］ A platform for large scale and distributed agile delivery
The majority of IBM software products are now developed with agile development. Development of large products require hundreds of developers distributed in many sites to collaborate. Agile development therefore needs to support large scale distributed development in our environment. To that end, IBM Rational created a development platform that supports information tracerability and transparency, integration of tools, collaboration of different roles of users, and global scalability. The talk will explain the platfrom with emphasis on key ideas, i.e., OSLC, Jazz and CLM. We will also discuss the recent trend of faster software delivery and growing interest on DevOps. We will explain IBM Rational's view on DevOps and the work of expanding the scope of the platform to address DevOps.

［Session 5（40 minutes）］ Failure and Success from real cases examples (Who never wanted to use agile again will speak about the success point)
Hitachi Solution has been working with agile process for more than 10 years, but it is not true we succeeded in all projects.
In the beginning, we tried to apply scrum and XP in the same way we had learned, and we felt the limit where we can apply in our projects. In a large scale of user aplication development in Japan which is the target of our company, there is its own characteristic and sometimes we gave up to apply agile. Now, we have learned some Know-how, adapting the project attribution, we are choosing what phases or parcites to be agile, this is the method we are taking.
In the fisrt half of the session, we will present the Hitachi Solutions agile application way of thinking and examples of agiles failures and successes.
In the second half, a person who has experiences of failure and successes , will tell the mainly 4 management points(Quality, Cost, Delivery/Time and Scope to embrace change). They are essential points for agile projects to succeed.- Speaker：
