Agile New England  is hosting an annual conference called Agile Games in Boston April 19-21, 2012.  One of the main speakers will discuss how the software industry needs to function more like theater, planning its product line-ups and releases more in sync with its “audience” tastes and capacity for engagement!

This is an exciting moment, when the start-up business world is looking at the arts world to borrow ideas and refine its practices.   In looking to transform the world of work,  Agile proponents understand that being people-centric makes exceptionally good business sense.  Deep symbiosis between the maker of a product and its user will create better “fit,” better value and, it is hoped, a better world!

Please stay tuned for updates on my plans to cover the Agile Games for the arts community.   It should be a rich conversation, and I hope you will be inspired to be a part of it.
