Partner Event - CAMUG Presentation - Applying Agile to IC Development... We're Not That Different After All

Please join us for the next CAMUG presentation on Tuesday, November 1st. Neil Jonson will be presenting on Applying Agile to IC Development... We're Not That Different After All!

Agile software development methods have been adapted to and applied in a number of other areas. ASIC/FPGA development, however, with its big bang development and delivery model is an area where agile is strangely absent. This talk examines how agile methods in the following areas may be used to gradually displace the big bang model: * feature based, incremental development * early/sustained collaboration between design, test, modeling and embedded software experts * regular retrospectives Included are ideas for how agile may best be introduced to hardware teams.

He is currently a Principal Consultant at XtremeEDA working with various clients in telecom, networking, wireless, and computer hardware.
