Chris Parsons from the Agile Delivery Network talked about his organisation’s work on E-petitions and how, through Agile, they very quickly delivered a website capable of supporting 6.5m visits and 30m page views.

David Hardstaff from Eximium talked about the role of the intelligent buyer within the procurement process:

agile is successful when the buyer understands what they need, as opposed to what they want, and takes into account trade-offs such as ease versus complexity or open versus secure, which add to the cost and time to deliver a project.
