GL-SPIN To Talk Agile And CMMI: The Great Lakes Software Process Improvement Network will present "Agile and CMMI" by Broadsword president and CEO Jeff Dalton Thursday, Sept. 9. The event begins with networking and a light supper at 6 p.m. Agile software development methods and CMMI (Capability Maturity Mode Integration) best practices are often perceived to be at odds with each other.

The meeting will be held in Room 201 of Dodge Hall at Oakland University in Rochester. RSVP at info@gl-spin.org by 6 a.m. the day of the meeting.
